If you are wanting to build now I wouldn't wait as nothing radical will change with Rocket Lake. Sure Rocket Lake will likely be a bit faster on the 4-6 core parts but then Zen4 should leapfrog RL again. I also wouldn't wait if you need more than 8-cores because AMD should still beat Intel's Rocket Lake with the 12 and 16 core parts. I think now that we have proper competition waiting isn't a great idea just jump in the water when you need to upgrade. No major flaws in either sides CPU's.
Gratz AMD, but I will wait for Intel offer coming next spring.

Just bought one (5950X)... - limited to only one per client and there where 10+ in stock
The price was more or less in the MSRP limits = 880 euro...but that's what happens when you want something day one.

Great performance especially in 3D render.
Gaming wise, I've seen the 5600x is at my i7 oc level so no upgrade there.
Glad I didn't rush buy it. Scan.uk stock was out in 1 min anyway

Gone in a space of couple of minutes in most EU shops I looked.

All "my stores" never went on availability or disappeared in 1 min. The store where i made the reservation got 2 units of the 5900x.
So yeah... paper launch for me.
That means Your stores do not share global logistics centers. I shop with guys that use EU's warehouses. And supply there is just fine.
And I was F*ing tempted to buy when I saw those numbers in tests.
