I have decided to hold a weekly build-off, each week i will be donating 20-25 fg to the best builds of the week, one for usa build, one for canada build.
This is week two.
simple guidelines:
must be CHEAP: price is by far the most relevant part of this exercise. I will put a cap of 600 dollars on any build submitted, although ideally we are looking for sub 500$ builds, Mail InRebates do not apply toward this total so do not count them. (also do not include an operating system into cost)
Performance: the 2nd most important part of the build, we want d3 to run as good as we can, and should easily be able to max it with the given budget but i would love to see some creativity.
The build must be pictured (screenshot, uploaded via imageshack, or whatever site you use) or linked(pcpartpicker).
All parts must be in stock, and all parts must be able to ship.
I will determine the winners each week, understand that the spirit of this build off is just some friendly competition to help the community in general, the rewards are just a way for me to give a little something back to the people that put in time on these builds.

Everybody is welcome and encouraged to enter, and may submit as many entries as they would like.
Thanks for your time and participation in this community activity.
**last weeks winning build(s)**

thanks for posting, you are welcome to submit any builds you like as many times as you like, and an apu is not ideal for this build off but still an entry is better than no entry
