As terrible as this event is, it really isn't surprising. Germany is being destroyed from the inside by the massive amounts of muslim immigrants entering the country.
Right now I have all the parts to build my PC other than the GPU. I'm gonna be going for the 1060 since I prefer Nvidia features (so don't try to talk me into a 480) but I can't find it in stock anywhere. I've signed up for Newegg's stock alert but I have no idea how long that will take. I'm wondering if anybody here knows any tips for finding these things in stock.
The fact that people seriously thought that these would be selling for 350$ plus is ridiculous. The only reason the 1070 and 1080 are so expensive is because AMD has no competitor.
The best part is that some guy hates Pokemon Go so much that he sat down and specifically eliminated that.
I must admire your determination to break things. This topic has been up for 5 minutes and you already did that.
I know this is probably a troll, but I'll still take the bait anyway. The 7700k is not coming anytime soon, probably some time in 2017. It will probably take a new socket so you will have to get a new motherboard.
Here's a benchmark comparison between the 980 and 1080 from Anandtech:

The performance difference is pretty large, but ultimately only you can determine whether or not the large price tag on the 1080 is worth it.
I think this is just a difference in philosophy. I was a part of that huge hype train and ended up being disappointed, but I think that the excitement itself was worth the disappointment.
Obviously this is quite possibly not true; such is the nature of rumors. I don't quite know how to interpret these benchmarks so I'll leave that to people who know what they're talking about.
