Really a 960? it wouldn't have been that hard to put a 1060 6GB in.

I'm pretty confused on that too. Put an i7-6700K and a 960? That's just some dissonance right there. 

 

But I guess if you get the rest of the PC for free(ish. Usually have to pay taxes), then you could probably use your saved money on replacing that with a 1070, which makes much more sense for a 6700K. 

 

And the choice to just have an SSD is something, but it's not like a 1TB HDD is godly expensive.

Another issue I have is that PSU,It sounds dangerous and whoever wins this should change it asap.

It still isn't a good choice.

I love how if you used this link (I'm pretty sure) you give this guy 3 entries, we may have just let this man/woman/whatever gender win

I would like to note, as OctalSnail said, this IS my reference link, which will net 4 total entries (3 for me, 1 for you). In a discrete situation, this gives me an 80% chance of winning: 1 from my original, 3 from the reference vs. 1 from you. BUUUTTTT, I strongly encourage you to reach out to friends and family who would be interested in this with your reference links. And of course, if you get even 1 reference, then we're on equal chance of getting it, just based on your entry.

While I would enjoy this PC, I'd also be happy knowing who got it. If you do get this, please post in the comments about your experience with the competition, as well as maybe throw a video up about usage and feel.

If you would like to enter WITHOUT my reference link, you can find a direct competition entry on Gigabyte's facebook page. It'll be in bit.ly form, as opposed to woobox form.

Good luck to everyone!

 That is a good point, I'm not mad. (although rereading my comment I realize I sound mad) I think it would be funny if say 15 people used this link and then you have46 entries.

Apologies, I hadn't brushed up on that in a while. Post has been edited accordingly, and I'm fine removing entirely if desired.

It's fine. It could easily make tier 3, probably tier 2.

 

Edit: Scratch that, it is tier 2:
