    1. Budget & Location
    $400USD
    any stores in US/Canada
    Cannot go over budget
    do not count Mail in Rebate
     
    2. Aim
    Items must be new in box
    Must be bought from a store, what store doesn't matter but shipping cost and taxes must be factored into the price
     
    The goal of this post is to create the best computer from NIB parts from a store that we can in order to have it compete with the scrapyard wars computers
     
    Must be a fully functioning computer with storage, a case... etc, but no OS required.
     
    -UPDATED-

    This looks like a pretty sweet deal, the GPU kinda sucks, but I am pretty sure it will run most games better than consoles. You could always upgrade the GPU in the future.

    INTEL 5820K GIVEAWAY DECEMBER 19-26
     
    Our friends over at Intel have been generous enough to provide us with 2 Core i7 5820K 6-Core Processors to give away to the community! Think of it as an awesome holiday present from Intel to the community
     
    How do I enter?
    Leave a comment below to enter the draw. One comment (entry) per user.
     
    This is a worldwide giveaway.
     
    Also, please mention in your comment what you would do with the processor if you were to win this giveaway! (This will not affect who wins in any way - winners are chosen at random, this is just a way to add a bit of cool community interaction to the contest) Are you a budding streamer or video editor who will use the extra cores for multi-tasking? Would this chip act as the missing piece for a set of workstation components that you've been eyeing?
     
    UPDATE 12/27/2014:
     
    The winners of this giveaway are:
     
    La Jolla Orca
     
    and
     
     
    elan2468
     
    Both of you should have a message from me in your inbox.
