I want this to be my first pc build (unfortunately not yet) meant for everything that I do with no lag.
Bang for the buck PC with no compromises performance
This would be my very first build. A white-themed mid/high end gaming pc with plenty of storage for class files, homework, projects, and of course, games. I've watched a bunched of tech videos on YT so I had some idea of what I was adding. This was fun!
I want a no-compromises pc build that can play any demanding game with high fps. If I had the money to get a high pc, these would be the parts I would choose
I'm an international student that finally arrived in Los Angeles last month. I wanted to start streaming and I've tried picking parts that would suit my needs! Not too much and not too less, and I believe it will work just perfectly for me! Peace out!
Sincerely,
A future professional no-life twitch streamer
I just needed a decent Gaming PC for playing, recording and streaming Minecraft. I chose these parts because I don’t anything crazy but something that will get the job done. I think this pc is a good practical streaming computer and I may even upgrade it in the future.
Budget mid-tower PC with onboard wifi and Bluetooth useful for cramped college dorms. I picked an 8 core Ryzen 5000 series CPU with integrated graphics because of the current GPU shortage. The Ryzen CPU along with the 16GB of ram should be capable of my college needs whether it is coding on Java or hardware designing on Xilinx Vivado to my personal hobbies like occasional video editing or photo editing.
As for gaming, the integrated graphics should be good for lighter gaming titles I play like Minecraft and American Truck Simulator but should be perfectly fine handling some slightly demanding games like Halo MCC at 60FPS. If there is one in stock, I picked an RTX 3060TI as a GPU as it should be capable of older demanding games like Apex Legends and next-gen games like Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite.
I got my first job over this summer, and I was able to earn enough money to buy the parts for most of my computer, until I realized the astronomical price of graphics cards. Winning this gift card would let me achieve my dream of finally having a PC that not only can handle any game I throw at it and play those with friends, but also allow me to develop my hobby of video editing.

Something simple . need an upgrade from my computer and want to gift my old computer to me little brother
I want to build a second machine for my friend. He is struggling to run Red Dead because his gpu only has 2gb of vram, and the game basically requires at least 4gb at 1080p. This build should be fairly future proof too.
This high-end build is what I would go with if I were to build my dream PC today. A Ryzen 9 5900X combined with an RTX 3080 and ultra-fast NVME storage can handle anything: gaming, video editing, game development, and even streaming if a capture card is added. And with PCIe 4.0 and two unused RAM slots, there's room to upgrade for years to come.
This isn't for me, My girlfriend is starting college soon so I wanted to gift her a computer that I know will last her a few years down that also is decent for lite gaming when she wants to decompress from all the school stuff.
This computer will be my first custom built pc. Its years in the making years of saving and browsing the original build had an Intel CPU but I decided to go with AMD because of their better performance recently and any graphics card is going to have to do I guess with the state of GPU's
https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=c5d07b15-6ecd-4683-8e46-98d727fa0ee7 I think this build for my first pc. It does have some components missing because it’s not near my micro center. I think it’s a bit overkill but I want a pc that will last a long time for me to game. I hope that eventually I save up to get this build.
This would be my pc build for when i would leave to college and to hopefully be able to stream and play game with friends.
I am in need of a pc that can power streaming games like Call Of Duty Cold War, Valorant, GTA 5 and etc. I will be utilizing the pc for powerful creativity applications like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects which I will be using throughout my 3 years in high school and my college years too. Having a powerful full pc that I have listed on my build would help me a lot in my digital arts and photography class and all the other classes too

Currently, I'm running a prebuilt pc from 2018 with:
Intel Core i5-8400
AMD RX580 4GB
GEIL EVO POTENZA 8 GB (Single Ram Kit)
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Apevia 550 Watt PSU non-modular (idk if its even 80+ bronze rated)
This was my first time ever doing this and right now I honestly don't know like with parts are the best, what is the difference, but I do know how put a pc together. This is not the pc I want to build though, I want to start a YouTube channel but I need a pc to do that. The one I want is the Minecraft pc that Austin Evans built. I can't wait to start building it once I get the money. Even if I don't win I think I am going to buy pretty much all of my parts from micro center. So I just want to say thank to micro center for doing this contest. (If you can, could you send me something on how to learn more about pc parts please and thanks.)
I have wanted to do an apu build for a little while.
So im an architecture student and my pc right now (core 2 duo 4 gigs of ddr3 ram and a 750ti) doesn't cut it for 3d rendering and modeling so my build is mostly for that while the gpu market is crazy ill hold off on buying a gpu ill wait a year until it calms down. i don't do much gaming and im REALLY happy with my current pc (my standards are "as long as it runs") when it comes to gaming so its all mostly for school and hobby's with 3d printing and such. Thanks so much opportunity and good luck everyone!
Dream build but hey, I have a lottery ticket. You never know.
These were close to the recommended specs for my engineering major that my school provides. Doubt I need a gpu but, I got a powerful psu in case I need one in the future for modeling or something related. Going to reuse my monitor and I already have a new mouse pad.
Small, sharp (literally, look at those edges on the case!), and streaming capable.
Have a good one!
I always wanted a up to date gaming pc.Ive been watching pc build ever since I was 10 never got the chance to actually build a pc of my own.I always helped friend build there pcs and get happy when I see a smile on their faces when they play on there beast of systems.At the moment Im playing on a console and from the bottom of my heart it is really boring playing on a console.This pc is up to date and will be a beast of a system 5-10 yrs later .I would really appreciate a 500$ girft card which will help me be able to get a pc
