I ordered my 5791 on Monday December 3rd.
At that time the 5791 had both the 8700gt and the 7950gtx as options for the video card. However it mentioned that the 7950 had a 2-5 day backorder.
So I ordered and didn't worry too much because even with a 2-5 day backorder, I would still be able to get my system before the 26th, which is when i'm going back to school. I study overseas so I need the system pretty much asap.
I just checked again and now the 7950 is not available with the 5791.
I asked Justin about my order earlier and he said that he would be able to find out tomorrow, December 6th. That's when the 8800 will be available.
The problem is, i'm leaving on the 26th and need a system by then. I really wanted to go with the 7950 because it was a good price point and the card is a strong performer. Now it seems like I will have to go with the 8700gt. Plus even if I considered going with a 8800 card (which would be a tough choice because it will be ridiculously expensive), they wouldn't ship it in time.
I think i'm just unlucky
