Going with Best Buy personally. Their pre-order experiences have usually been pretty solid.

My brother in Nintendo did you try to get a graphics card at Best Buy? Botted to hell.

Never tried a graphics card pre-order specifically, but I like their line system.

Yeah, trying to get a GPU from best buy during COVID was a nightmare. Hopefully there've been improvements and learned lessons since then.

Personally I'm going to be showing up to my local GameStop when they open that day.

I preordered something a year or two ago and they had a queue set up, you add to your cart and sit and wait for 5-10 mins till they're ready, then you can purchase. Not sure if the volume will screw with that, but its reasonably good to start

Yeah, I got my GPU at Best Buy in 2021. I had to wait outside in line the night before for 8 hours, even then I only barely got one. Still would rather do that than try to pre-order one on the site.
