Awesome, if I could win this, then I can actually start to play the games I've had for years uninstalled because still having to use an old i7 3770k. Yeah I know, never wanted an Intel actually but it was from my brother at the time so worked with it. Either way, I hope all much luck.

[HardwareHobbyist]

I should have upgraded my PSU for this, but it's still not too late.

AMD makes great processors !!!

[crmueller90]

Would LOVE a new 6900XT, prices are crazy right now. Vega 56 it is till then...

[IRTimKerr]

I love AMD CPUs. I never have issues and for streaming, they can't be beat. Currently playing Fallout 76 (I'm addicted)

Hi! My current rig is currently down because my water cooler is having seizures whenever it is powered on. Currently trying to figure out if the problem is the power supply or the main board controlling the pump and fans. Cannot play games on the laptop. Strange start for 2022.

The Bang & Olufsen speakers are great on my HP Ryzen 7 Envy

[SamuriClown]

Just did a complete rebuild and used the Ryzen 9 5950X - Ryzen 9 5000 Series Vermeer Zen 3 16 Core3.4Ghz processor! Along with some other really nice parts. Check my full build on TWTR @IKnowGuy420 ! Good luck everyone!

on my new Msi  build I'm using a Amd  Athlon 3000g with Radeon Vega 3 graphics. But I'm on hold trying to get a good graphics card.

Hehe hi 🙂

[WorkingCupid549]

I’ve just beat Witcher 2, now I’m moving on to Mass Effect: Andromeda. ME:LE was my first Mass Effect experience but it was one of the greatest series of games I’ve played. Recently picked up Andromeda on sale and can’t wait to get back into the ME universe.

[Domingo314]

Did I already enter the contest?

[1God1king]

Love Red let’s get it .

[Tobeistobex]

About to build my first gaming rig (also photo editing) for my 52nd birthday. Switching from a 9 year old Mac. 

[pgm88_2000]

Wow, I would gift a 3900X to my sister who is considering buying a desktop. 

[Clemmer_CDA]

AMD creating great products across the spectrum of use cases! 

[TheMilkManBaby]

FX-8350 best processor.

Hi!

Thanks AMD for the Sweepstakes / giveaway.

As you know, many Gamers are out of luck with hardware due to the ~160% increase in prices (compared to MSRP) so these giveaways are really great for those few who are very very lucky.

I've had Radeon graphics for a long time (way back when they were made by ATI.. like the Rage Fury, 9800 Pro, X800 Pro, X1900 XT, HD 5770, etc.)

I had a HD 6870 and HD 7850 .. but I still remember the HD 5770 when I loaded up the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion... It ran amazingly fast compared to what I had before. It really blew me away to be able to play the game at a good resolution and framerate.

Gamers have been facing difficult times and having to make really difficult decisions for their PC parts now and I appreciate that AMD has been helping out Gamers in all the ways that they have.

I'm personally looking forward to the next generation GPUs (Radeon 7800 XT or such) because that's somewhat close around the corner and also most likely what I'll be able to obtain (as long as the mining dies down and inventory/stock becomes more available to stores at near MSRP).

Also I believe it's awesome that AMD made the FSR technology open source so that any developer can implement it into their games. It makes a big difference for a lot of people who can't afford the more expensive hardware.

This is my comment for the sweepstakes 🙂

Thanks for reading.

[JerzDrew]

Have been playing a lot of Icarus

[Tobeistobex]

I can’t wait to build my first gaming (and photo editing) rig. 

[thecjm]

Looking forward to a nice processor to pair with my AMD GPU!

[oneslocamaro]

First thank you for doing these sweepstakes. Second that would be perfect for the new b550 motherboard I have that won't work with my first gen Ryzen cpu. 

[bfoster68]

Long-time AMD user.

I have a system built with a 2700x and an RX 6700 XT. My kids have AMD systems for gaming. We are an AMD family, as long as you keep building a great product.

[zbiggie]

easily the 6800xt I have. Really makes me want to get a 6900xt, but no need to bother this year. Will wait for top of the line card when the 7000 series comes out.

[eu4ia]

Man, I’ve wanted a 6900XT for forever. This silicon shortage is killing me 

[ashurthelionheart]

Love AMD, will literally get nothing else. Haven't had the money to get a graphics card but this will make my desktop much better!

[yippiekiyeh]

Free 3900x, yes sir!

[eu4ia]

Currently playing FPS and gonna play some Dark Souls to prep for Elden Ring. I love the AMD CPU’s. Of the 5 chips I’ve used for various builds, 4 were AMD

[Duh_buhl]

Good luck everyone!

[Timothycleslie35]

Would love to build my new amd pc this year.

[polypylo]

I know how sweepstakes work, and I know that only God can help me win. If I win, I win. I hope all of you have a great day.

P.S. I just like this picture, so enjoy.

[TinmanReed]

This would go a long way towards my next computer build.

[darkmadcat1]

This would be a great upgrade haha, I’ve been playing a ton of Game Pass games and am looking forward to the new Rainbow Six game coming out. 

[king_of_pain14]

I would love to have another 3900X but to get a 3900XT would be great! Here is my current system.

[TURBOCAPSLOCK]

3900xt me please

[Willad2022]

Hi!  I have had a lot of fun playing the Marvel Avengers game, and I recently beat the campaign story mode yesterday!
