Good news, my 8700k arrived today and my wife did not refuse the package. Now I have to figure out RAM and cooling...a trip to Microcenter might in order tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the help!

The more I see your posts, the less and less I like you haha. You get a golden chip, you pay 340$, you have a gorgeous water cooling setup....It's just not fair haha.
Well if it is at eleveated prices (420 USD?), then obviously it is more likely that the supply will last (longer at least, now it is out again). But the fact the prices are high above MSRP means the scarcity in supply still holds.
Situation is probably improving somewhat tho, Amazon must have been selling more of them because despite being oos 8700K is #2 there now. It fell to #100 range after the launch for whole october.
But it is still very limited, the sales at mindfactory aren't climbing up as much as you would expect from 8700K, yet.
Looks like stock is catching up. There was only a month of difficult availability.
The Micro Center local to me has seven 8700K for $420, one 8700 for $390, and five 8600K for $330.
Supply should start catching up real soon. The new facility starting to make coffee lake chips is definitely going to help alleviate the shortage. It's a good sign that newegg has had them in stock for a while now at $415. That means they aren't selling out at the inflated asking price so price drops are inevitable.

Amazon is only about a half a week behind on inventory at this point too.
I believe it's supposed to come online early December, so next few weeks really.How soon? I didn't see a date in the AT article.
