This is my dream build! Built for performance and gaming. Can work on video editing and large data processing workloads during the day and game by night 😎 I personally would like all of the lights on my build and will make for a cool night light as well! I can only imagine what someone would see from outside of a window or door with all of the lights 😆

Would be cool to win but I don't have that luck. Would be a upgrade from my old I7-7700k
-
A nice upgrade for building code, playing games, and way too much multitasking!
(And an ASUS board for that nifty new GPU slot release button!)

This would be my dream build. I really like ITX builds as I am a college student, so it makes transferring it to and from home easier. I went with ddr4 as there are no ITX ddr5 motherboards available yet. I selected a high-performance low latency kit of ddr4, so it shouldn't impact performance much. I added a higher wattage power supply than usually comes in the NZXT H1 as the intel 12900k needs a lot of power. I have a 6900xt as it is the best GPU that people can buy without waiting in line. It said it wouldn't technically fit in the H1, but modifying the fan shroud could be fun and should make it fit as it is close already. I also added the cooler the H1 comes with just to have it there. This is my one concern with the build as the intel 12900k is a high power chip so 120mm may not be enough, but just for gaming a light video editing, I believe the load won't be too great. If it was it would cool (ah CPU pun) to try under volting it to lower temps.

You know I’ve always been a envious man of people with the clean white build. I usually spend my time on fiver as a freelancer graphic designer for people that want to start streaming. With after affects and photoshop being my top used applications on my computer this would be something that would not only perform well in those areas but in gaming.

I would love to be able to build a brand new PC that'll last several years as a top performer.
-
This is a PC build that offers potential for OC for gaming with some beefy cooling solution and some ASUS shilling in the mix given how quality they are. Also the build has a capture card for streaming and plenty of storage for video editing. A multipurpose monster that has no limits!
-
https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx This is my first PC build Im hoping to get it in order to replace my current PC which is is slowly going. I want to be able to start streaming and playing more games that are out or going to be released soon.
-
Would love to have this ! I never had a dream build ! This would be a beast and it will solidify my rig for many years to come !
-
I don’t know. I like this build. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx?load=aeb21c83-6e7e-4a14-add8-7339d9e1a654

My mom bought me a computer a while ago, since we don't have much money we couldn't afford a good pc. I'm very thankful that she brought it for me! I would love to have the best pc for max graphics on any game. And if I do get one my mom won't have to worry about if I'm happy or not! -
This would be my dream pc for 2021. Would love to give it away to my brother for Christmas😅https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx?load=643f6d34-578e-4004-8d44-65f237cae366

I love Snow, and this reminds me of that.

Hello! My name is Drafty :)
I'm an aspiring streamer/professional gamer and at the moment I don't have a very good PC. A GTX 960 and a 3570k I believe. I've wanted to stream since I was a little kid, I'll never give up on this dream. This PC build would help me achieve my goals :)
Whoever is reading this, have a nice day, much love!

Hello! I am Andrew.
I spend all of my time in coding, recording a podcast, gaming, doing home work, or editing. This build would help me complete all of that. I chose everything on my pc with two things in mind....1: functionality which is fulfilled by helping all of the things above to be completed easier and smoother thanks to the parts picked...and 2: minimalism. I am not a big RGB person. I appreciate the fun lights but for my own work/game station I like things to be more minute which is why the color scheme of the build was white with some black accents.
Currently I own a PC with a 1660 super and 10th gen i7 in an all black case and build.

This is my dream computer at this moment. I want to do a mostly ASUS build and because I run some VMs for testing some new Database features is why I have so much RAM. The GPU is because I just for once want to have a top of the line gaming GPU.
-
This build will help me out with work, gaming and streaming. I'll finally be upgrading to something that will last me a long time.
Check out my channel on twitch if you can. Good luck everyone!
-
Big part of this build would be upgrading to support ddr5 and PCIE gen 5. I'm big into OC'ing so I'd love to see how these perform under water :]
-
This one would be my dream build- enough to handle literally anything I could throw at it.
-
Power power and more power! Build big or go home:
-
I wanted something that would be overkill but would remain top tier for years to come so I didn't have to worry about upgrading anytime soon. I've always had a lower range pc that could only play older titles so it would be nice to finally have something to play current games with my Nephew and friends since they've all left consoles behind years ago. I'm not an aspiring streamer and don't have a tear jerking story, I'm just a guy that has to do without sometimes because adulting gets in the way and it would just be nice to have for a little escapism after a long day.
Either way, thanks for doing the giveaway!
-
This is my dream build. I need to upgrade my current computer to be a better one so that it can render from 3D software such as Blender or 3DS Max as fast as possible. I'd prefer the RTX 3090 for the GPU if it's still in stock.
-
This is my dream build. I picked the most expensive and advanced parts for my build so I could do anything and that would last for a long time.
-
Here is my build. One of my favorite things is to pick out oarts and build a PC. One of the things I have never been to do is build a PC with the best of the best parts. Being able to freely build a computer with no limitations soundw like it would be the most fun thing to do. Would be awesome to get this rediculous build in my hands!
-
Here is my possible build if I had bought some Shiba Inu a year ago. Would definitely use it for heavy processing on video processing, animation, and 360 stitching. It should be able to handle all the gaming high specs that I can imagine full resolution and fast frame rates. Microcenter is my number one source for electronics.
-
I chose this build to play on a competitive level as I aspire to win tournaments and play with Top tier equipment. Upgrading from a 9600k and 1070ti so I can future proof for years to come.
-
This is a dream PC build for gaming at 4K.
-
This is my dream PC, it would be my very first custom PC. Thanks for the chance!
