It's an open secret that here at PC Gamer we love PC Building. Building your own PC makes for a fun weekend project, and nets you the biggest performance bang for your buck. It's hard to match the sweet satisfaction of customizing each component to fit your specifications and needs. We want to share the joy of PC Building with the entire community, which is why we're challenging you to submit your best performing builds at the lowest possible price in a number of categories.
We've extended the submission period until May 4th! May the fourth be with you and may your builds bring order to the galaxy!
At the end of the competition the winners and their builds will be featured on the PC Gamer home page. Submit your build and get that clout!
This is the $500 Min Spec Console Killer Category
