Good thing I live in the U.S...

[Quisey21]

Hopefully I win this one because my computer sux

[Georgie]

I would want a gaming pc that could play battlefield on high settings. Right now I have a budget build. So I'm not sure if that will happen.

[JesseL]

Gaming rigs are all about the gpu. But I cannot deny that form factor and 'sex appeal' are 2 things I love to see!

[onurcerealbox]

I look for a good graphics card and reliability

[LakeofLava]

Well when I am looking at a system I ususally try to get the best performance for my money, though I don't buy systems too often due to money contraints etc. Instead what I do is I just upgrade certain components. Right now I still have an i7 950 (Quite an old CPU now but still performs well!) and a 7970.

Yay sounds fun

[RazersEdge]

Here's my entry into this amazing giveaway! Been looking into building a new computer but if I can get one for free that would be amazing!

[callmedaley]

Im all about a chilly rig. Temperatures have always been an issue for me in the past so keeping my build icy cool is terribly important to me. Of course lots of storage and a blazing fast CPU never hurt

INTRODUCTION

 

Holy crap it's that time again! PAX Prime is coming and Intel's gearing up for the show by sponsoring us to be at the show and also... apparently giving away TWO gaming systems. One of them is a Potenza gaming desktop from Maingear and the other is a Valkyrie gaming notebook from iBuyPower. I do have a bit of bad news, however.
