In a gaming PC my most important part is a high quality PSU with a single 12V Rail and lots of Amps. Secondly we have the motherboard which must be able to handle ambitious overclocks. After that everything else is "temporary" if you will, as long as you're working with a socket you are prepared to stay loyal to for a few years. I finished my first PC build months ago and Linus along with Logan from Tek Syndicate were amazing help so I wanted to give a shout out to you guys :D !

 

 

As for storage I use a small 128GB ssd coupled with a 2TB hard drive on USB 3.0 holding larger files and non demanding games, and finally back up my most important files on a few SD cards I have laying around. I strongly recommend backing up important files like Resumes, family pictures etc. on multiple devices.  I hope that is enough info. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck everyone!

I look for what I can afford, balance of cost and quality.

Good luck to everyone.

awesine give away!!!!! To be honest, I guess all gamers want more GHZ rather than onboard graphic which does not help gaming if they have something like a GTX780

Hey Linus and crew, thanks for doing this frigging awesome giveaway, and a thanks to Intel, too.  

For one, i'm actually going to say that a good gaming system is that its hardware is very futureproof.  I hate the idea of spending a bunch of money on a component then spending a bunch more on another a year or two later.  This system seems like something that can withstand time in game framerates, etc., especially with the factor of overclocking.  It's a pretty darn unique computer and i'd be honored to have it<3

 

Anyways, I did all the other stuff, too.

hmmm... really depends on your tastes I suppose.

I like all-rounded machines, I use computers for many different purposes, so if it's COMPLETELY geared for just gaming (I don't even think that's possible), then it would be great to have it in a living room and make it into a casual gaming setup (couch etc), rather than at a desk.

and unfortunately for me, I don't use twitter, and I stopped trusting facebook a long time ago after they removed the ability to hide yourself from search.

Really hate that these things are always US or Canada only, rest of the world just gets screwed over because of 'shipping costs'.

Yeah... you should make it that international winners have to cover shipping costs.

And yes, I know how expensive that can be.

Awesome contest! It's great of Intel to be putting up such cool prizes. Finally mini ITX is becoming a viable gaming platform. I am excited. Hopefully this little thing has enough cooling.

Still, a well balanced system is more important than having a high end graphics card, so on that note, it depends on the rest of my system. :)

Thanks for the cool contest, Linus. Intel rocks for making this happen.  - Proper Cooling, and a good processor overclocked is what I look for in my builds build -- Oh and of course if I had the dough a better graphics card... still rocking a 560 pfft.
