CPU: Phenom II X4 920
GPU: Sapphire HD5870
RAM: 2X2GB DDR2 1066
MOBO: Asus M3A778-EM
HDD: Seagate 1.5TB + WD 200GB

PSU: Coolermaster 750W
Case: Raidmax Aztec
 
AS a side note, Do the first 20, HD6870 owners get the Dirt3 keys? Or just the first 20 entrants? Reason I ask is because the Ad that led me to this thread says: Get Dirt 3 FREE with purchase of the AMD Radeon HD6870 graphics card.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that if you buy a HD6870, you get Dirt 3 for free. The first post states that the first twenty entrants to the competition get the game, but since then TinMan has said that they received sixty more keys, so I guess that brings it up to the first 80 entrants. Then there is apparently 10 more keys that are going to go into a lucky draw.

Well, My PC specs are (Thanks to GlenrandMIB after a lightning strike) :

Rampage III Formula
6x2GB DDRIII Kingston HyperX
Core i7 950 @3.07GHz
CX650 PSU (too small :( I don't have enough connecters and have to choose between no fans or no optical drive)
Coolermaster Scout
Asus GTX560Ti
1TB HDD for games and media and 160GB HDD for OS and 320GB HDD for family to backup their files.

However, My dear old man's PC could do with some serious upgrading...

Let me just go run SIW on there for you guys...

It just hung twice while I tried and I had to power off and on again in an attempt to get it working...

In the meantime, let me tell you about my friend's rig who just needs a new PSU and GFX card to get his pc working again,

He has 8GB of DDRII Kingston ValueRam
An E5500 dual core CPU
A dead GT6800
A dead nonamebrand 400W PSU
1TB HDD
Stock old Acer case from an ancient PC
A P5Q Deluxe

I know all this because it used to be my pc and then I sold it to him for cheap and then, thats right folks, lightning struck. He got lucky though, not everything blew. Just the crappest componenets *Victory!* The PC is now at my house until he gets me the money for the parts to fix it. This HD6870 would make his life alot better if you donated it to him.

In the meantime, back on the ranch, my dads PC is finally spewing forth its filthy, ugly, naked truths:
Mobo- Foxconn 661 7MI
CPU- P4 @ 3GHz
GPU- Nvidia FX5500
RAM- 2x512 DDR @ 200MHz
Case- You don't even want to know :(
Optical Drive- Worn out and only opens if forced now :(
HDD- 160GB that I donated cuz his old 40GB's sounds made me physically ill
PSU- 300W that I found in a friends garage to replace my dads old one which too sounded horrible
Monitor- 15" LCD that I donated when I could afford my Samsung BX2450

If you gave this HD6870 to my dad, I would ensure he got a new system to suit the GPU (i'll give him 6 of my 12GB of ram and convince him to purchase a core i7 with matching Mobo and he can have my PSU so I can buy a new one) so he could once again enjoy being at his pc and maybe I could even get him to play some games with me like he used to *reminiscing*

So please guys, I might not need it but you can give it to a cause. Whether you are having pity on a student or helping an old gaming veteran out. Both my dad and friend could use it and i'm sure either would be mighty greatful and excited if you were to let them win!
 
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6400
GPU: Sapphire HD4870
RAM: 2X2GB DDR2 800
MOBO: Asus p5n32-e
HDD: 128 GB Samsung SSD + 4 x 320GB Seagate HDD
Monitor: Samsung T260 + Samsung 226BW
PSU: Gigabyte Odin GT 700W
Case: Coolermaster Elite 330

Hmm, not sure how much of a boost this old rig will get from a 6870, but I am planning on updating to some kinda Core i5 setup later in the year (BF3 is coming!), so the 6870 will do very nicely on bringing the upgrade costs down.
 
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 661 @ 3.33GHz

This new card would let me experience CrossFire for the first time and I would be able to experience games the way they were made to truly be experienced. Make my dream true please? :)
 
i7 860

Come on guys, this is turning into a sob story thread.

Just post YOUR (not your dad or friend or sickly grandmother) rig's specs and I'm sure the guys at mygaming will do just fine at seeing who could use the prize or not.
Adding a sad reason as to why you may or may not have a decent rig/graphics card is not what the competition is about.
 
Guys please don't post anything else other than your entries in here!!

I will have the list up by this weekend, I'm waiting for this thread to die down a little.

Thanks
 
Intel Core i5-760
2GB DDR3-1600
MSi 8800GTX (Runs Crysis 2 on my 23" :D)
Samsung B2330H
ASUS P7H55-M/USB3
Seagate 1TB
 
Motherboard : ASUS P5N-D
CPU : Q9550
RAM : 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR2
Graphics Card : XFX HD6870
Chassis : Coolermaster 690 Advanced II
Keyboard : Logitech G15
Mouse : Logitech MX518
Monitor : Samsung BX2450

I see the criteria for this is "most deserving", which may seem to put anyone with a lower end GFX card at an advantage. I understand that and it would obviously be great to get someone who has all the other oomph to get this fantastic card.
The obvious question for me is whether you could SLi the same card from different manufacturers (XFX with the Sapphire).

But I want to enter because I think 2x 6870's in CrossFire would be absolutely EPIC given whats coming down the lines this year ITO games. That, and I have never CrossFire / Sli'd before and would LOVE to try it out. Also, a game like Dirt deserves ALL HIGH EVERYTHING MAXED :)

Updated for pics.

Okay.. :o point noted. Just thought this thread could do with some flavour as it was otherwise bland. I appologise profusely :(

Shot for the info, although it looks like I didnt make the cutoff, and the odds of the 10 spot prizes is pretty bleak.

Awesome Comp nonetheless.
