X99 Hype! O.o
Recording and editing gameplay would be so much easier. It would definitely provide a  performance boost compared to my i5 4690k I own atm. (:

Born to game, forced to work.  -_-

Winning this would be an absolutely awesome thing for me! I'm looking to start a new build and switch from my FX 8350 to Intel and the 5820k would be an awesome beginning to my next build which would be focused for video editing as well as gaming.

Thanks for the opportunity and happy holidays! Good luck to everyone!

Sweet christmas giveaway!

 

In the unlikely event that I win it, I'd use it to replace my i5 which has performed well in the past 2 years, but has developed some issues in recent weeks.

What would i do if i won this CPU? 
i would build a new gaming rig for my older brother, since his PC just broke down after 7 years of duty.

He cant afford a new PC and is struggeling with paying rent since he got diagnosed with stress and anexity.. 
And if i won this CPU a lot of money could be saved, in Denmark the price of this fine piece of hardware is 520$ (2,700DKK)

-and the buget is around 1000$.. (5500DKK)
He would get a lot better and faster and better PC than i would have given him.

I really hope i will win this CPU and get to supprice my brother with a brand new gaming PC.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and will have a happy New Year!

If I win, I would buy a x99 motherboard and 32gb DDR4 ram, because my computer is old(I have a core 2 duo) and I need to upgrade my PC with a new platform

Allow me to move up to the x99 platform! It would also make a really nice gaming system and allow me to start making gaming videos! Awesome giveaway by the way!

Awesome X-Mas gift well post x-mas gift to the one who wins this bad boy.

 

Personally I would use this as the base to finally upgrade my 2500K and be able to run more VMs for my SQL Servers and learning and testing out different configurations.

Plus it will make my LoL games run much faster (jk :D )
