Post the components that would be found in your ultimate gaming rig in this thread for your chance to win it!

We will randomly select one member from this thread to help help them purchase the components for their ultimate rig. The maximum amount at this time is $2500 - but please feel free to post rigs that are more expensive.

Please use RigBuilder if possible :)

This contest is open to any valid OCN member as of the time of this post. The contest will close in about 1-2 weeks. Good luck! Contest has been updated/extended! Please see added rules for February to December below. January's rules stay unchanged.

Update!

Boom. Instead of just one, we will now be giving away one of these rigs per month throughout 2013!

So the way this will work:

  • First month (January): You need to have been a member BEFORE the date of this OP (3 weeks ago+)
  • For all other months: You will need to be a member of Overclock.net BEFORE the subsequent month. (i.e. to be able to win in February, you would need to have been a member in January or earlier). In addition, if you will need to have at least 25 posts, which positively contribute to the community, by the time of the drawing. So, if I just signed up in January, I am now allowed to post my rig in the thread for the February contest. All I have to do is ensure I am at 25 contributing posts or more before the February draw in order to be qualified to have a chance at winning.
  • You only have to post your rig once in this thread to be eligible for each month you qualify for.
  • You can make your rig any price - but we can only commit to helping you purchase $2500 worth of components for that rig.
  • Prizing will be sent out either directly (we will buy the hardware for you and ship it to you) OR we will send you the funds via PayPal for you to purchase the gear yourself (depending on where you live and the pricing involved).
  • It's open to any region in the world where contests like this are permitted. If your region requires it to be a game of skill, your question to answer is: What is 15 x 10 + 5?

Winners!

I haven't been keeping up on parts too much, but for a baseline I would say SR-X with some fast 2011's and quad Evga GTX 680 4Gb Classifieds. Then 3 1Tb Velocirapters, and 5 1Tb Colussus drives. All in that big case that is like 5 feet tall (Yeah I am a noob). Water cool it all and I am good for life

I'd probably go for something like a MiniITX monster:

http://www.overclock.net/lists/display/view/id/4832166

Intel Core i7-4770K

MSI Z87I Mini ITX

BitFenix Prodigy (probably Midnight Black)

MSI Gaming N770 TF 4GD5/OC GTX 770 4GB (More than enough for my gaming needs)

CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W

CORSAIR XMS3 16GB DDR3 1600 (2 x 8GB)

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 128GB SSD (OS + Software)

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 512GB SSD (Games + Other, no more HDDs yay!
tongue.gif
)

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler (usually freezing here in Canada so should be sufficient for some OC in the summer/max OC during the winter, though i'm considering changing this to a Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK which should be sufficient all year round for $85).

total comes out to around $2000 I believe.

No idea if I require the game of skill if I win, but the answer is 155. Thanks for having such an awesome contest!

(Subject To Change)

Wow does technology move fast... first I wanted a Titan, but now the list is much simpler.

Change: Decided to pick up a GTX 770, so I would change my GPU selection to another one
smile.gif
Adding $400.

I need a more potent board. Without onboard sound, I would have to sacrifice a slot. So if I'm going to do that, might as well go all out and make the extra wiggle room. So I would grab an Asus P9X79-E WS. Might as well go all out. Would give me plenty of options for expansion, while being able to keep my 3930k. Which I am absolutely happy with. $500

Change: Picked up an Asus USB sound card, so no need for onboard anymore!

Water cooling didn't go too well in the past, so I would move the best AIO at the time, so I'll set aside $150 to cover most if not all of the price.

Change: Apparently, the price savings would be tremendous. So to make up for that, I would go all out and grab a Dell U3014. Set me back around $1,100.

Down to the last straw I guess. What, $300? I would probably use the rest to get decent fans, a new mouse and a great mousepad. Which will always change, so that would have to be decided at a later date
smile.gif


So for now, lets just say it equals somewhere in the ballpark of $2000 . I'll take shipping cost into account too. Would be a wonderful upgrade, and always, thank you for being an awesome place to surf!
