Well..still no luck on my order at CDW-G. I placed the order on 10/04 and was told I was second in line by our rep. Every day the ETA just moves back another day or two.. Currently sitting at 11/08. Disappointed to say the least. 1080ti should be here soon, trying to decide whether to forget CL...
Just got off the phone with a couple of corporate reps at different vendors. It looks like the next batch for most places isnt coming in until the 18th and orders fulfilled on the 19th.
My backorder with CDW-G got moved back further. I'm sure there is pent up demand but retailers moving backorder dates even further definitely adds another straw to the low supply/low yield thought.
Now that I have my order placed... Here is an 8700k up for sale today.

Think I will probably wind up with The Asus Prime or one of the Biostar boards. Seem to be the only ones that didn't feel like they needed to throw "GAMING GAMING GAMING" into the board name, lol.
I'm guessing they are moving from 1800x to 8700k for that sweet single thread performance. I'd be curious to know real world differences though since I may wind up going with a 1700x(OC to 1800) if the shortages turn up real..... or CDW-G gets no stock.
Moving away from the 6600k and on to a 8700k if I can track one down.
Not seeing any preorders on parts and any mainstream outlets doing major reviews seems odd to me since intel already broke the nda by announcing the parts.
Will be pairing it up with:
Corsair Air 240
GTX 1070
H115i
960 Evo...
