I ordered a gpu from Micro Center and received an order confirmation yesterday, but then got this email today saying: cancelled due to product unavailability or a payment authorization issue.

What does this mean?
 
It happens with most on line retailers at one time or another. They have a limited stock and fill orders as they arrive. If they don't have a "pending" system that shows XX in stock, with XX - YY pending leaving ZZ available, they will do just like the airlines and "overbook".
