High end PC gaming has always been expensive. The 8800Ultra was ~$800 when it launched way way back and there is alternatives that do not cost the earth. You can pretty much build a pretty high end gaming system for £500.

Ordered mine and waterblock today 
I was going to get one but struggling to justify the price. Especially as the prices seem to be going up after just one day. I'll wait till some competitors have their stock in and make a choice then. Ocuk price fluctuations seem a bit ridiculous at the moment.

I've been holding back my vote for a while now, but I have finally decided on a No.
I bought a 1080 beginning of January, an upgrade from crossfire 280x's. I was absolutely blown away by the 1080,the performance increase was huge! The Ti would be another improvement, but nowhere near as big. I'm getting a solid 100fps+ in BF1 at 1440p ultra, I don't need anything more than that. I'd rather put my money into a custom water loop and clock my 1080 even higher, and eventually look into a hex/octo core cpu.

Not at around £800 that is pushing titan area of money. Yes its pretty much the same card I understand that but the 980ti to this day remains the most expensive card I ever got at around 580 for an evga super clocked. I will probably upgrade to a volta titan given enough time to save up to replace my 980ti. But I have 1080SLI in my main rig so fine for now.

She knows abiut the card but i havnt broken the news about the block yet or that im upgrading to a 7700k
After reading all the reviews and watching many videos I'm a bit more tempted to get one now to replace my 980ti. I'm just a little hesitant as i'm not sure if I should also upgrade my cpu, currently have a 5820k or just stick with what I have.

I was going to try and get one in the US while I'm over here but as expected stock is pretty much non-existent like most places at the moment. Will probably just wait until I get home early next week and see what stock is available then.
