Being a fairly new enthusiast as of a few years ago, I look at the pc as a whole. Gotta have quality products in all to avoid bottlenecking and get a good flow of data going, and of course get a great graphics card :P regardless, another awesome giveaway! I've been watching Linus and the crew for a little over a year now and I gotta say you do a fantastic job. Always entertaining but always foremost informative. Love the show/channel, keep up the great work guys!

My ideal system would be one which can play games, render and encode files, bitcoin mine, fold@home while cracking the secruity codes for banks across the world... is that really hard to ask for ._.

For an Ultimate gaming system. I always look for CPUs with beefy per core performance, but can also multitask and hyper-thread like a bause. It should at least have 4 cores with 8 threads. RAM needs to be at least 8GB with 1600mhz for speed. Also a SSD with sufficient storage and high reading speed. Although it does not affect FPS, what gamer doesn't like fast loading time between levels. A GPU with high memory bandwidth/VRAM is ESSENTIAL for an ultimate gaming system today, one that can handle triple monitor 1080p gaming or 4k single monitor without trouble. Like a GTX 780, Titan, HD 7970, or HD 7990. 

 

 

 

One entry! YOLO! Linus bless me  :)

When I think of the Ultimate System, I ask myself what is powering this beast? They have two titans in there? That's cool but what kind of power supply? Oh its an $80 dollar psu...... facepalm.

Unlike my current system, I prefer small form factor but serious gaming power as well.  I really want to go Intel and NVidia but don't have the money.  But my games do have Phys-x and I really wanna try it :)

Thanks to the sponsors of this contest and good luck to all who deserve it. Hopefully whoever wins it deserves it.  

 

My ultimate gaming pc would be super quiet in a 900D with tons of fans and rads. Would go with a AMD cpu (yes, I know this is an Intel sponsored contest but I don't care, I get what I want). I would go with an Intel based GPU though as they have really nice features that I would take advantage of, such as physx and better SLI results. Then water cool it all and get some samsung SSDs and some WD HDDs, Windows 7 and a bunch of corsair peripherals. Get a good 1440p monitor and game till i burn through my fingertips.
