Intel Core i7 5820K Giveaway

I would use it to get my computer up and running again.

It had a bit of a KIA (killed in action) moment.

There were lots of sparks though :)

It was a really only pc and I've been saving money for a new one.

This would cut a very significant amount out of that.

I would use this processor to start a new build for gaming and video recording/editing.

Well, if I had the processor, I would upgrade my Core i5-2310. I'd pick up a motherboard. and just swift my parts over.

Free CPU, was going to build a mITX or mATX video capture rig on the Z97 platform, but a free CPU offsets the costs quite nicely for me to up to X99 :P

I would get a new motherboard and swap it out for my old AMD cpu to better run Inventor and play games.

It would knock a lot of the price of entry for my first pc build.

I would give my entire current system to my father and build me a new rig with a cleaner looking case.
