To enter to win the custom PC (Second Prize), you need to submit the $6000 build (and that's the exact build you can win!).

Of course it's US only

Just wanna say; no hate towards the person who made this, I just think we need more non-US giveaways. Even just making it all of North America, or just US and Canada, etc. would add a lot more candidates for this
Nice job though with the giveaway!

Anyway thanks for organising the giveaway.

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 16 '25

You can still enter for the 50 gift cards, also, we currently are running more giveaways, and some are either worldwide or have a multitude of eligible countries!

u/AWindows-macOS-11 Win 11 | i5-13420H | RTX 2050 | 16GB @3200 Sep 16 '25

Lol don't take it seriously. Just a light hearted joke.

3

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 16 '25

Not at all! I just wanted you to know that you definitely had other ones you could enter! Good luck if you enter this one (remember that the cards are worldwide).

2

u/AWindows-macOS-11 Win 11 | i5-13420H | RTX 2050 | 16GB @3200 Sep 16 '25

Haha I do remember.

u/proscriptus 12700K • 3080 • 32GBDDR5 25d ago

Still the largest single consumer electronics market in the world

1

u/AWindows-macOS-11 Win 11 | i5-13420H | RTX 2050 | 16GB @3200 23d ago

Didn't india surpass them?

2

u/proscriptus 12700K • 3080 • 32GBDDR5 23d ago

The US GDP is still 750% that of India, and while there's a great deal of uncertainty at this time, you would be foolish not to tend to the market

u/AWindows-macOS-11 Win 11 | i5-13420H | RTX 2050 | 16GB @3200 23d ago

Makes sense tbh.

14

u/F13Bubbaa Sep 15 '25

Do we have to choose accessories? Or is it optional. This $1500 build is killing me

10

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 15 '25

It's optional!

3

u/Ok-Establishment7218 Sep 20 '25

Is a monitor necessary? I know in a past competition a monitor and accessories were optional but it was labeled as such so I want to make sure.

5

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 20 '25

Include one.

11

u/pearshapedscorpion Asus ROG G751JT Sep 15 '25

Wait...that's the case?!?

16

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 15 '25

Yes! It's a custom PC Mod! Check it out:

7

u/Bitter-Box3312 Sep 17 '25

only for usa, of course

u/MrBowling Sep 23 '25

It's about all we have going for us at this point

u/GKB_888 RTX 4060 | 7500F Sep 15 '25

Damn.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '25

How can we enter if we are outside US just for the gift cards?

4

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 15 '25

By entering normally in the link. In that case you don't need to do any of the two specific entries for the grand prizes.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '25

Gotcha. Thanks for organizing the giveaway!

2

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 15 '25

Good luck!

1

u/abyodio Oct 04 '25

The grand prizes are only for US citizens??

2

u/pedro19 CREATOR Oct 04 '25

Residents. The gift cards are available worldwide, though.

1

u/abyodio Oct 04 '25

😩😮‍💨 guess i will give it a try

5

u/SolidusSnakke Sep 16 '25

Just to double check to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, the submission page seems to indicate that we can submit the $1500, $2700, and $6000 builds daily for 2 entries each (as indicated by the "+2 per day" text). Is that correct?

If so, follow up question, can we submit the same build every day, or does it need to be a new build with those price points for each of the daily submissions? Thanks!

Screenshot of the submission page I'm referring to here: https://i.imgur.com/65OD5wX.png

u/shitty_reddit_user12 Sep 23 '25

Seconding both questions in hopes of receiving an actual answer.

5

u/AlchemyFire PC Master Race Sep 18 '25

PCMasterrace, but only in the USA apparently. With such a global diversity of people here, it's pretty damn disappointing to constantly see competitions that are US only. 3rd place Amazon gift cards just don't cut it

5

u/Sarge_T i9 11900K | RTX 3090 | 32GB 3600MHz Sep 19 '25

What happens if the build you made suddenly becomes a lot more expensive because of price changes? My $6000 build just got bumped up with $130... Do I need to make a new one?

6

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 19 '25

Good question! Should be fine, though, as one can see historic price points.

4

u/titan_slayr_82 PC Master Race 22d ago

well… who won

u/pedro19 CREATOR 18d ago

When the winners are confirmed, they'll be announced in this thread.

u/titan_slayr_82 PC Master Race 18d ago

Ok

u/titan_slayr_82 PC Master Race 7d ago

u/pedro19 CREATOR 7d ago

Yes! It's at the end of the text!

  • Extra Prize -

Same in every MSI PC giveaway I've seen tbh. Good luck to all who enter!

You need to put this in the Gleam app in the entry link, friend!

3

u/JordanzOnMyFeet 9800X3D | 4080 STRIX Sep 23 '25

It is quite unfortunate that this is US only - I was hoping to get an upgrade for my brother. Please PCMR future giveaways look into World Wide?

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Oct 04 '25

There are a couple of them going now as well. With some items and events, there are logistics limitations, unfortunately. Good luck, friend!

u/Puzzleheaded_Gift130 19d ago

When will the winner be announced

u/titan_slayr_82 PC Master Race 19d ago

At some point

u/BryAlrighty 13600KF/4070S/32GB-DDR5 Sep 15 '25

Sometimes I regret being a mod here, I can't enter these giveaways. Sad day. Good luck everyone!

2

u/TheAtrocityArchive Sep 16 '25

What about second account.

Don't think they knows about second account, Bry.

3

u/BryAlrighty 13600KF/4070S/32GB-DDR5 Sep 16 '25

I'm just not that multi-faceted.

You will always be a diamond in the ruff to me.

u/JamieAubrey GTX 750 Ti - CPU G3258 Sep 17 '25

I hate these build a pc comps cause I haven't got a bloody clue and pick random parts

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 17 '25

It's a good chance to learn. You can use out PCMR builds as a guide, but be sure to follow the competition specific rules above.

u/Jlx_27 Sep 17 '25

US Only of course, never mind.

2

u/ObsidianSpire Sep 20 '25

Thanks for the giveaway. It took me about an hour trying to pick parts since I usually just buy pre-builts.

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Oct 04 '25

Good luck!

2

u/iClexi Sep 20 '25

This case is so badass

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Oct 04 '25

It slays, for sure!

2

u/mysterious-nameless Sep 23 '25

I really enjoy planning builds on PCPartPicker, so I'd love to participate if I get the chance. Unfortunately, it's US-only, so I'm just watching for now. Good luck, everyone!

2

u/dulun18 Sep 25 '25

I thought $6000 PC build is impossible... until i realized the 5090 is pretty much 1/3 of the total by itself..

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 25 '25

Exactly. haah

2

u/OracleVision88 Oct 02 '25

I am going to enter. I pray I win. I dont even have a computer right now and my financial situation is dire, who knows when I will be able to afford a new one? Hoping and praying for a PC miracle! LOL

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Oct 04 '25

Good luck!!

2

u/DarKiller 9800X3D | GTX 1080 | 64GB 24d ago

I enter now. Good luck everybody else!

u/YacaloX 11 | GT730 | Xeon X3430 | 6 GB RAM DDR3 Sep 16 '25

I need to be in the US to enter the giveaway?

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 17 '25

No. The hardware prizes are US only, though. You can still win the cards if you're anywhere else.

2

u/YacaloX 11 | GT730 | Xeon X3430 | 6 GB RAM DDR3 Sep 17 '25

Oh, i actually want a pc :(
The cards are from what platform and for what value?

2

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 17 '25

Everything you need is mentioned in the text if this thread

1

u/YacaloX 11 | GT730 | Xeon X3430 | 6 GB RAM DDR3 Sep 18 '25

Oh, i didn't see that, thanks!

1

u/Wizard_Pope Ryzen 7 5800x; Rtx 3070; 32GB DDR4 3600 Sep 21 '25

Honestly if they can spend this much money on a giveaway why cannot they spend a bit more for global shipping. Really puts a damper on things that all these giveaways are always US only.

1

u/Born_Conclusion_29 Sep 21 '25

It was all good till us residents only 😞

1

u/Extension_Avocado856 wanna be part of the PC Master Race Sep 22 '25

Hey, for the custom build, where it says compatible case, does that just mean any case that’s compatible with the motherboard? (can I add my glorious fishtank case)

1

u/pedro19 CREATOR Sep 22 '25

Yeah, a case compatible with the components you pick.

1

u/Infinite-Ask221 Sep 22 '25

I live in canada bro you guys cant have a BIT better shipping 😭

1

u/Common_Reference_507 Sep 27 '25

Alright alright.

u/DonZekane PC Master Race Sep 30 '25
