So, I have all my parts shipping in for my gaming desktop build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1M1ak), and I wanted the GPU to be the new 280x which is coming out tomorrow. I heard that when new cards are released that they sell out within 20 minutes, I have class early tomorrow so I wasn't planning on staying up until midnight. So my question is will the cards hit the markets tonight at midnight or will they be getting here sometime midday tomorrow? Thanks.

I heard that the 280x is only $300? This is apparently a re-branded 7970 Ghz which costs around $350? I have all the rest of the parts currently sitting in my closet waiting for a GPU to go with it so I can get started on building it so I think I should just buy it for $300.
 


it is a 7970, but clock speeds are tweaked. So if you want a 280 right now, go buy a 7970ghz OC version.
