My system currently has a 5900X and a 6900XT.  Both have been supurb from day 1!  Definitely a nice upgrade to the 1700X system with a Vega 56 that my girlfriend now uses.  Any game I play on it runs better than expected.  Microsoft Flight SIM, Forza Horizon 5, WatchDogs Legion, Halo Infinite, Howards Legacy, and many more.  Solid products, solid performance, at a better price than Intel and nVidia.

Cool stuff, nice haul!

[lorddarkhelmet]

Tumbler and cooler bag? Both things I can use when I go fishing lol .

Why talk about what I have installed now when I can talk about my first build with an AMD Athlon XP 1800. Back when I was just out of High School, I think- it was a long time ago. I remember getting the CPU and other parts at Fry's. It all went into this wonderfully aesthetic of a Antec? white PC case. Really nothing special by todays standards. I can't recall all the specs, but I believe I had an ATI (before they were bought by AMD) VGA card as well. I had Win XP, though I may have started with Win 98/95. It was more than capable for it's day and I had it in my bedroom to play a few games on and watch a few movies. This was before Wi-Fi in an old house, so no internet on this PC. I really enjoyed building that computer.

I recently upgraded my laptop to an ASUS G15 AE with a 6800m, and I couldn't be happier with how it has turned out so far. Just an all-around great system!

[Phoenix152]

Would love to have this. ....

[iafbt]

I would wear the heckin heck outta that if it were bigger!

my 6800xt has blown me away (and every game) I've tried since I got it. GIB ME ALL THE FRAMES!

[John-Prevette]

Maybe they will let us upgrade to man-size if necessary???

[CurrlyFry1094]

Nice wish you had a laptop with framework out RN.

[lordpantsington]

My RX 6800 XT Midnight Black has handled everything I've thrown at it!

[joebangles]

That's right! Get us to wear the badge instead of just jamming it into a Case and barely telling anybody! Diabolical! I'm certain to win, because it isn't hardware this time 😩

That said, I'm running an AMD Ryzen 3900x and Radeon 6800XT as I type. . . seems a bit overpowered for typing, but there ya go!

[ryzen2300x]

I'm currently using an Rx 6600 and Ryzen 5 5500 I used to use a rx570 and Ryzen 2300x my best system as this system is not being utilized what soever in most new competitive games and even in normal games I get lag spikes and fps drops with no over heating im proud to say my system is amd trademark quality which is the full reason I dislike it

[gotgrant]

[TR2]

I ain't got a problem gettin my swag on. Nice collection of AMD gear.

[Fragdad]

Swag Bag sounds cool!

[John-Prevette]

Red shift to Psyche (16) asteroid collection opportunity, here comes the $10,000 quadrillion-dollar "rock" this fall 2023 ... I need more power Scotty!

[jdm]

I finally retired my old A10-5800K/R7-270X rig to media server duty a few years back.

It does great work in that role.  Still a decent 1080p gamer too, as long as you don't try to run the more modern Vram hogs on it.

[PythonCoderPro]

Currently running a Ryzen 5 4500u on my laptop. Works fine for what I do.

[markl116]

Using the Ryzen 5700G with it's integrated Radeon graphics.

[BigAl01]

I have a computer running with the 5700G, and it's doing fine.  

[cpurpe91]

The hoody looks nice. I wonder if the keycap will work on my KB. I thinks this model uses proprietary keycaps. This is a nice haul. 

[EVI5R8R]

gl all

[AP_Stryker]

I bought a Ryzen 7 5700X for Christmas last year, for myself, and was happy with the price I paid at the time, and am just as happy with the performance.

[blazer]

Nice swag prizes, (I probably won't win, but it is nice to dream.) 😀

[Lonkku]

I recently bought Asrock Radeon RX6950XT Phantom Gaming OC and no problems so far. It´s not getting hot or noisy while playing and I really love the performance.

[drewster]

Well this is an interesting turn.  Always nice to see things change.

[plaidygami]

Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

Review - 5800X3D: Just recently upgraded to a 5800X3D. At first I wasn't sure if I did it right, but thankfully, a few helpful members in this community helped me out, and honestly, this CPU is fantastic. It's a great upgrade from the 5600X for people like me who like CPU-intensive games (Civ 6, Cities: Skylines, etc), as well as media creation, like video editing, or streaming. I'll be good with my setup for at least a few more years now. Thanks, AMD!

[merrick_yap]

My desktop is currently running on a Amd Ryzen 7 2700x for pass 4 years plus. It is still serving me very well without any issues at all. As much as i love my current desktop build, i am looking forward to the future soon to build my next PC with Amd Ryzen 9 7950x3d.

[PlaystationGJ]

Current Rig

5800x3d, XFX 7900xtx, Asus B550-F Gaming, 32gb DDR 4 3600, EVGA Supernova P6 Platinum 1000, Asus GT502 white case. Gaming on a LG C1 OLED 120HZ 4K.

I have been with AMD pretty much forever. as far back as I can remember every gaming PC I have ever had has always been AMD. My Current setup is killer. I absolutely love it. Being a 4K gamer I want to upgrade to the 7800x3D but at 4K being GPU limited it makes no sense.

I am able to pretty much max out any game without ray tracing and keep amazing FPS usually 75-120 depending on the game. I am a MAX 4K gamer so I choose my parts based on Ultra settings with high FPS. I plan on staying AMD even for my next upgrade. I dont plan on leaving anytime in the future. 

The 5800x3D and 7900xtx has been an amazing combo letting me play any game at any setting. Im waiting for your next Top Tier GPU that I hope ray tracing is better on. Would like to finally have an AMD GPU with ray tracing. 

[Cencerd]

Loved my R9 380 so much that when it was time to upgrade I went full team red and built my current gaming PC with a 7700X | RX 6900XT. Have loved my new setup ever since i have built it, plays everything I throw at it with ease.

[Vynski]

That R9 380 was and still is an awesome card.  Istill have 2 machines running R7 350 and 370, of course I don't play any of the recent most demanding games, but I'm happy.

[cwispy7]

I'm currently using AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and still waiting to have an extra budget to buy a RX6600XT. I'd loved to see how good this GPU in to the game of Uncharted 4. I hope I can win this time

[Merzhinhudour]

I have a Ryzen 7 5800X and it's wonderful to play Star Citizen and recent games who need powerful CPU

[mikagee]

I loved my 1600 and 3800x on my old gaming setup. It was definitely worth the price!

[KidneyThief]

I'm running an AMD Ryzen 5700x (was3700X) along with an RX 6800XT at 3440 x 1440 165 Hz and loving it

[sdizzol]

I have a Dell G5 with both amd CPU and GPU.  The 6600m can run everything at great fps.

[blazek]

Count me in, Love me some AMD swag!

[jamesc359]

It's getting a little to warm for the hoodie, but that hat is AWESOME!
