*Update 6.9.2020*
With just 21 days left to enter, I want to take a moment to personally thank everyone that made the 20th Annual Killer Gaming Rig a reality. This would not have been possible without the sponsors and donors listed below and, of course, all of you.
NVIDIA
Intel
Western Digital
Microsoft
FSP
ASRock
It wasn't easy (it never is) and we hit a few snags along the way but we pulled it off. The biggest hurdle this time around was the pandemic. Thanks to the many people we work with in the industry who went the extra mile to make this happen. Again, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Here are answers to frequently asked questions:
Ending date: June 30th
Are these separate systems: Yes...in one case
Why three video cards?: This gives the winner the choice to go SLI on the Intel side and still have a GPU for the AMD side.
How much is it worth?: The case and two GeForce RTX 2080 Super would run $2,000 by themselves so that gives you an idea.

*Update 5.21.2020*
Just FYI for those of you following along at home, I am moving the starting date for the 20th Annual Killer Gaming Rig giveaway from May 25th to June 8th to allow more time for all the parts to come in.
Update 5.15.2020*
With just ten days left, I have hit a snag. I have gathered almost everything I need to complete this awesome system EXCEPT for a socket AM4 processor for the AMD side of the build. If any of you have a line on one or want to do some horse trading, hit me up!
I'd like to announce the 20th annual Killer Gaming Rig giveaway! What makes this system different than all the other KGR's we've done in the past, is that we are building a dual system featuring both Intel and AMD platforms in ONE system using the FSP T-WINGS CMT710 dual chamber chassis. More details coming soon!!!
I am in the initial stages of gathering the components we need for the build so if you work in the industry and you see an email from me in your inbox, you know it's a begging letter. 😝
