I have had this computer for years this is still my original pc case from 2007 when I built my first pc in vocational school. I had to upgrade the computer about 3 years ago due to the whole PC because it was getting old and the mobo crapped out on me and i was on a budget and this is what I built. Then 2 years after that motherboard becouse the intel mobo I had crapped out on me. So now this is my set up (see attached file) it is a lga 755 intel core 2 duo with ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series gpu and 8 gbs of ram still running win 7 in classic mode do to how slow the system is and no there is not an ssd in it. I so would love to have a killer gaming rig.

[DeathTheStriker]

Hello I'm a kid in high school trying to start streaming but I can't because of my rig

Overwatch, CS:GO, GTA V, and almost any other AAA game runs unplayably the second I open OBS I hope to fix that with  #ROGRigReboot I have a ROG GR8 with a750 TI and an Intel core i7-4510U @ 2.00 GHz with 2 cores and hyper threading with only 8gb of ram I also can open about 3 chrome tabs at a time.

Hope I win. #ROGRigReboot

It is really hard to describe how crappy my PC is in less than 60 seconds but I think I did pretty well. Thank you for this opportunity, I hope to hear back from you soon.

Well I posted most of my parts in the description if you didn't hear it in the video. Good Luck to all the other participants! Also sorry for the mess in the video. Games such as Overwatch runs at 50-70 frames at moderate settings, CSGO runs at 100-150 frames. The more demanding games such as Just Cause 3 runs at 30-40 frames when even at the lowest settings. As well as PUBG, that runs from 10-30 frames. Since my processor is currently dying or overheating quickly, the PC shuts itself off every so often and my frames have dropped significantly.

Just in case the parts are as listed:

PNY GeForce GTX 950 OC

Gigabyte HT3.0 Motherboard

A currently dying AMD FX 4300 processor

8 Gigabytes of DDR3 Ram

Terabyte of Memory

350 Watt Power Supply

Also a crappy Cool Master PC fan

#ROGRigReboot this is my submission i would take my time and make a thumbnail but it might take 1-3 days 

   

[mhinz]

Well where shall we start? I have been doing most of my gaming on an old acer aspire laptop that I payed like $500 bucks for, and a 2013 MacBook pro that I fixed after my friend spilt milk on it. As you can probably guess this is not ideal (boo hoo me right... got a maxed out 15' MacBook pro [$4000 ish laptop]  that I only had to buy a charger for) But, this setup is not great for gaming which is the first reason I am looking for an upgrade the other reason is I am about to start a computer science degree at UBC and kind of need a windows computer with a little more umf. I don't expect to be chosen but if I am it would be a dream come true. Thanks.

 

MacBook Pro 2013 15' Retina

Intel Core i7 2.6GHz

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB/Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

1TB SSD

 

Acer Aspire 5560

1.5 GHz AMD A6 3420M

8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM 

500 GB HDD

 

Like I said I know the MacBook may exempt me from the contest but I really do need something for school and something that can run games at higher than 5 FPS.
