As far as I can tell, the winners have not yet been announced. The suspense is killing me.

I have a crap hardware but I think that a really good mouse would affect aiming for fps, especially csgo. So I lunged for a logitech g pro wireless (found it used for 80) and it is insanely light and not a single delay difference from wired. Having jumped from a bulky heavy wired mouse, this mouse helped me get better aim as I didn't have to keep lifting the mouse just to move it; increased some of my course times by a dozen seconds. I'd also recommend a really big mouse pad if you prefer playing at a really low dpi

G2A is one of them, you'd save a buck or so but not much until the game is much older, unless you're russian.

Quality stuff..

Nice! Congrats on being there, loved your take on the video. I don't think video equipment should matter much on the decision making, I was mostly stuck with a 4 year old phone and a walmart tripod (lol). Goodluck on the international entries!!

It's not necessarily that you did anything wrong, it's that the judges decided that these ones were better than yours, regardless of what you think about your own video. 

I liked the first video with the dying PC, the 2009 "OG" video was great, and the one where he built it in the suitcase was pretty cool too, but that should have ended 10 seconds earlier with the case falling.

The Endgame trailer video was cool, but it brought back too many feels #RIPTony. Dodgeball made me laugh with the 5 P's of PC Gaming. Caveman was funny, and I think he'd actually be funny to see again with Linus. I think the broken macbook video will win just because of the hentai porn of cables on the desk needed to use it.
 
The Australian guy has a really good presenter voice. He should do broadcasting or streaming or voice overs or something. The last video with the mechanical monitor made me laugh.
 
 
I'm surprised this made it in to the "Worst Computer" category. You have an Asus Sabretooth X79 motherboard. That's actually a really sought after high end motherboard.
The motherboard is only compatible with high end desktop CPUs, meaning you've got at least a quad core i7 HEDT or Xeon CPU in there, probably even a 6 core CPU.
 
The computer isn't bad, but from the video it does seem like you have an issue with it. Even if you don't win the ROG Rig Reboot your PC could likely be fixed with some maintenance and some small upgrades, and you'd still end up with a really good PC. Maybe post in the Troubleshooting forum for help with those BSODs and crashes.

Check the CPU cooler is mounted properly (looks slightly askew in the video), remount it and apply new thermal paste. Make sure the fan is plugged in and spinning on the cooler and it's not clogged with dust. While the HEDT CPUs that go in to your motherboard are powerful, they do run hot. If it's overheating due to a bad cooler mount it could explain your performance issues, possibly also why it's crashing. You can use software to check what your CPU temperature is. Aida64 Trial version, HWinfo64, HWMonitor, etc.
Spend $30 for a 250GB SSD to install windows on to. Will fix the long boot times and the fresh windows install (with CD key) should also fix the unauthorised Windows message. It'll make a huge difference to how responsive your system feels. If your old boot HDD is dying it could also explain the unexpected crashes.
After that assuming the computer is functioning properly and isn't crashing, check craigslist for 2nd hand graphics cards. Should be able to get something around RX480 performance for under $100.

congrats man!
 
i hope you win!

Hey everyone!
 
We want to thank everyone who entered this year's ASUS ROG Rig Reboot. We had over 3600 entries, which was 1.5 x time than last year! There were a ton of great ones, but we finally narrowed it down and broken down to 3 different categories while keeping an eye out who made creative entries. 
 
The winners will be contacted once we pick the top 3, good luck! 
 
PS: Yep, I did say Top 25, but we like these 29 and thought you would like them too!
