I almost had the same dilemma, until I realized that I had 4 spare CPUs. So I decided to overclock them all.

Not really, it is tech related. 

 

I normally just get out the parts that arrive first and look at them xD Or most of the time I use one day shipping, so I don't have to wait.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

I have tons of old pc's but only one is overclockable lol,and it has a stock cooler so i can't even overclock it.

I would I could of afforded the extra for one day shipping lol,i am not sure i want to take them out yet cause i want to make a youtube video of me doing my build,and i was thinking of opening most of the boxes on camera. 

Same here,my GPU will arrive on FEB 25th..........or says the amazon ETA 

WOW! why is it going to take so long? and which card did you get?

 

pressing F5 on the postage tracking, Im here waiting for my new gpu for my new build.

magic the gathering, nintendo games, movies, many other things. the trick is to have many things as options to do incase you are unable to to any of the things you are interested in, you may not be good at everything, or even a few things, but you are never bored.

Nothing to see here, move along

Look at reviews and high res images, as well as constantly check the tracking number to see where it is.

memorise the Newegg return policy word for word...

There have been many wars that have rocked the face of Earth, Many have heard of WWI, WWII, The Cold War, The Vietnam War and the Iraq War. But there has been a war that only a handful of humans know.....AMD vs Intel. It all started in 1985 when Intel released the first 32bit processor, the Intel 386. This war has been raging on for decades and Intel and AMD are still at each others throats. Fanboys have been ruthlessly killed, motherboards have been short circuited and most gruesome of all... CPU pins have been bent. Stop this war before it is too late. #STOPTHISWAR

Exactly how old? Because some times all you need to do is move move jumpers around on the motherboard to OC, and stock coolers seem to do just fine for me...

personally i simply don't try to think about it to much i ordered parts for my new X99 build on January 10th or so and wont get the parts before mid to end of march because sea shipping from Germany to south America takes ages. so i simple keep my mind of it but now i´m thinking about it again and how annoying it is so thanks for reminding me.

When I need multiple parts I usually just get them locally since the tech mall is only around a 20 minutes drive away. I go crazy if I buy online and have to wait too long as well.
