I'd use it in a build for a friend who is in need of a proper gaming PC. He's stuck on some dual core laptop with massive overheating issues and integrated graphics.

I've been wanting a new computer for a very long time. Ofcourse, with a 'free' CPU, the cost would go down dramatically.

I'm currently stuck with an i7 2600...

I was going to put my image signature here, but the forum said I couldn't.

I would love to win the i7 because I could use a really good media server for all of my media.

If I got this I would build a new system. It would finally make it so my atholon 64 x2 wasn't bottle necking my r7 250. I would probably start streaming to twitch because I have been told I am pretty funny. I would get an mATX motherboard and I would get a new graphics card, but I will pick the best one I can get when I get the cpu

I need to replace my A8-3850.. It's struggling with my daily demands.

 

 

When I built my PC 2 years ago (nearly 3) I did not expect to do full gaming, 3D rendering and modling and the occasionaly video editing/converting/streaming/recording.

Current Build

I'll probably just keep it in my closet, can't afford the other parts or I will just sell it so I can upgrade my old i3 530 rig.

If I won, I would upgrade to X99. Still using x58 series, and my motherboard broke on me once, finding a replacement for outdated stuff is getting super hard!
