Hi folks,

Just wanted to let you all know that MSI and PCPartPicker have joined forces to offer a build contest! This is a great opportunity for you to enter in your dream build and possibly win! However, some rules do apply,

Quote
  • The title of the build guide must start with "MSI Build Your Dream PC Guide"
  • You must choose any MSI Z170A GAMING or MSI X99A GAMING motherboard.
  • You must choose any MSI NVIDIA 9XX series or MSI AMD 3XX series video card.
  • You must not exceed $2,000 USD for the total cost. Prices are subject to change every day, so make sure the total build price is under $2,000 at the end of the contest.
  • The build guide must have the following components: CPU, CPU Cooler, Motherboard, Memory, Storage, Video Card (can have SLI or Crossfire), Case, and Power Supply.

Look here for additional info. http://pcpartpicker.com/blog/92/msi-build-your-dream-pc-guide

And here for the official rules set by MSI. https://www.facebook.com/172177528083/app/228910107186452

No, you don't have to own the parts. You're entering to win those parts! If you win, MSI will send those parts to you!

Hmm...here's what I want. A fairly reasonable system: 1150 with a 4690k and a 970, a nice 500gb ssd for storage. Oh but I want the thing to be integrated into a 150k apartment. Gotta have a proper case and environment for it right?

Whoops! I'm really sorry about that.
