If I won this CPU I would probably save up so I can have an x99 machine and a decent steam machine with some of my current hardware.

Man, if I got one of these beasts I would start by taking it out to dinner and a movie before locking it away in a computer.

 

Getting this would definitely be a great place for me to finally build the enthusiast grade workstation I have been dreaming of for the last couple years. For me though, there is no point in it if I use some pre-made case. I'd make a proper showcase out of this beast and a micro-atx motherboard. Anything bigger than micro-atx is more than I need, and and I don't need the extra bulk in my computers. I have enough extra bulk on myself.

 

I wonder how much I would end up spending on it?

This would be so awesome to win. I'm a game developer rocking an aging AMD 955, and I would kill for a multitasking boss of a chip. Maya, game engines, compiling code, image editors, you name it! This chip would totally speed up my work flow.

I actually just joined to get my tiny shot at this. I'm a poor college student looking to build an enthusiast grade PC and this would be an appreciable upgrade to what I can afford and lighten the impact of the build.

I would have do mostly gaming, a bit of video editing, and of course I would overclock the cpu!

My current pc would go to my sibling.

It'd be nice to replace my I7 920, 2008 wasn't that long ago was it?

Been wanting to pick up a 5820k, why you ask?? because I do not need the extra PCI lanes and its still a 6 core for $300, the pricey thing would be a mobo for this.

It would definitely be beneficial for me, since I do a lot of streaming, But with the intel CPU I have right now, Is bottlenecking my GTX 750 and I could use ALL DEM CORES! <3

Hi there Nick! I would love this beast 6-core cpu for my system. I routinely stream Minecraft, Battlefield, and other games like Skyrim. Streaming is a fun hobby for me that lets me connect with friends and fellow gamers. With the 5820k, I could have a cpu well fitted for streaming and growing my channel. I would like to thank you for giving away a cpu to a random person for free, I just hope it is me! Haha have a good day.

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231V3 GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770 2GB OC MOBO: MSI Z97 G55-SLI RAM: 8gb Kingston HyperX Blu 1600mhz Storage: 120gb Samsung 840 EVO and 1tb Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM OS: Win 8.1
