I'm curious, how many pricks with amazing PCs will just buy some pile of junk off ebay or craigslist and tell some fake sob story about how bad their PC is

(I don't trust most people so I'm a cynical bastard)

most people are to dumb for that

And now to the left children, you can see the city's first public library computer. It was shiny and blue, and some of the plastic was see through! Computers just don't have the same character anymore do they..... Ahem! To the front you will see the cities first server!

Oh man I had the perfect story, perfect climax and all. It was so dramatic. Lol I actually need to find a contest just like this and not with the NORTH AMERİCA EXCLUSİVE or the 18 year thing because I dont want to go to someones house.

GRR THIS SUCKS! I don't have that bad of a gaming rig. All I'd ask for if I won is for two ASUS STRIX 1080ti's a new case and a PSU. I have a ASUS STRIX GTX 1060 6gb OC An i7 6700 3.40GHz, MSI Z170A Gaming Pro motherboard. Plus I'm 14. So yeah. And I think it be weird if some kid won. Though Im sure most kids will be applying to it. I'm sure out of the 4.3 million people I wouldn't win.

its only a couple thousand entries so far

 You guys do realize that's one of the most revolutionary pieces of tech in personal computer history, right? The one that saved Apple from failing, and brought it back into being one of the biggest tech companies? 

 

You could have given it to me!

My old school gave away 50 of them.

INT. GAME ROOM - DAY

4 years ago

 

In a darkened room we see a man, ZACH, he is at a desk with a darkened computer, pressing a power button repeatedly.

 

ZACH

Come on you piece of --

 

And finally the screen on his desk is brought to life. Nothing impressive, just a single 23" 1080p monitor.

 

Then suddenly, Zach opens his gaming platform of choice, Steam.

 

We see many downloads have just finished and he goes from game to game, playing at LOW SETTINGS!

 

He checks the system requirements, he just barely reaches the minimum!

 

ZACH

That's ok, I should be able to

upgrade soon! It'll take no time at

all and I'll be up and running!

FADE OUT.

INT. GAME ROOM - 4 YEARS LATER

PRESENT DAY

 

Now four years later, we see relatively the same hardware. An upgraded mouse, keyboard, and even a new (non-matching) monitor!

 

Zach opens Steam once again

 

ZACH

Man I'm so glad Doom went on sale,

I can finally play it!

 

Zach then opens Doom, goes through the pre-launch setup, starts the game, and --

 

NARRATOR

The once full of life monitors are

now as dead as Zach's hopes and

dreams. No longer will his AMD FX-

8320, Radeon R7 260X, 8GB of DDR3

1333 MHz, 1TB hard drive filled

slug of a machine fulfill his

gaming needs. No.

He needs something more. He needs --

ASUS REPUBLIC OF GAMERS! With a

state of the art system, filled

with a slew of gaming peripherals,

modern specs, and RGB goodness, all

of Zach's low settings problems

will be a thing of the past!

Zach weeps.

ZACH

Thank you ROG. Thank you.

 

FADE TO BLACK.

 

Roll credits.

Canadians call the US, Canada and Mexico. We say Canada and US when referring to that specific group of countries.

Wow the Youtube comments are just pure hate for North America entrants only.

 

Jeez linus took a big steep hill downways and he was greeted with angry entrants who aren't from NA

make it night theme ready

Hardware Specs:

(Laptop)

Intel i5-3337U 1.80GHz

Intel HD 4000 Graphics

6GB DDR3 Memory

256GB HDD

 

Games:

Can Run:

Mainly this PC runs select games because I have onboard graphics, so most games run mostly dependent on CPU.

Garry's Mod (30 FPS) Low settings, 1600x900, No FPS Cap

CS:GO (45 FPS) Low settings, 1280x720, Capped at 60 FPS

Insurgency (60 FPS) Low settings, 1600x900, Capped at 60 FPS

Fallout 3 (60 FPS) Super Low settings, 1280x720, Capped at 60 FPS

Overwatch (25 FPS) Ultra low settings, 1024x768, Capped at 30 FPS

PAYDAY 2 (30 FPS) Super Low settings, 800x600, Capped at 30 FPS

Cant Run:

Rust | Crashes due to too low memory.

Arma 3 | Too low FPS and frame skipping for me to even play.

DayZ | 15 FPS makes this game uncomfortable to play.

H1Z1 KOTK | Crashes due to low memory and load times are horrendous.

 

Story:

My story with this PC is very interesting. I've had this PC myself for 4 years, but before i had it other family members had it to use as an everyday machine to do browsing and such on it. When I had got it and saw the dedicated graphics was enough to play some games I had made my steam account and started to look at what I could run. Then not long after that I fell in love with playing Garry's Mod for a good 2 years. Now that my friends have moved on to more modern games now I sadly cannot play the same games with them without the experience being terrible. Currently, I have no money to pay for a decent gaming PC and have been looking at any shot to enter contests.
