JustTheZ Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 So heres the challenge... whoever can build the sickest PC for $800 (including monitor) will win an iTunes gift card for me. The winner is decided by the forum members. I am going to get back into PC gaming and I want to be able to play the latest games fairly well.
