Does anybody know about how often DS updates their inventory selection? I've been waiting on pulling the trigger on a new build, because these Asus boards seem to be having problems.

Most of the choices they provide for the different components seems about right, but the motherboard selection is always lacking. I get that they are building a lot of these PCs and may not want to deal with 30 different motherboards and the ins and outs of each, but only 5 choices is a little irritating. This is especially true since 4 of the 5 are Asus boards. There should be at least 2 different manufacturers for the low, mid, and high price point, with maybe 3 or even 4 choices for the mid range, since that's probably the most popular.

I have an MSI board in my current computer and love it, and I wanted to buy another one. However, the only one available is a B760, and I really want a Z790 board. I know that I can call DS and have them install a different board, but then it's not under warranty. So, if I have to wait a couple months for them to change their inventory, I will. But if it's going to take longer than that, I may have to bite the bullet and hope for the best.

I had DS custom order an ASRock motherboard for my Slade. I received ten years of service, without issue. Your choice, of course, but don't worry to much about a custom ordered MB. Just get the details and be patient if you choose to go that route.
