the irony of this giveaway is that you need a $473 or $715 CPU and spend another $300 or more on DDR4 just to get this thing 'gaming' and thats if you cannibalise or merge all your other components in your old system to get this working....

Oh and if youre gonna be overclocking then throw in $50-90 for a good CPU cooler.

Id rather just sell off the board and use the money to pay rent lmao

RealNeil · Dec 10, 2014

I'd love to suffer through getting this thing 'gaming'. LOL!

Go ahead, TPU and MSI, make me suffer!
