Here she is. Rockin' a 770, so this would be a huge setup up, best of luck all!

Near the top of my want to play list are: Ark Survival Evolved, Resident Evil Biohazard and Prey! and if I do win, I'll even stream how it runs on twitch!
 
It's messy but here's my Dan A4 build with a blender bottle next to it for a size reference.

My Asus 290X Direct CU II OC has served me well but is struggling in triple screen with the newer games. The Asus 1070 would be a huge help.
I'm currently playing Black Ops 3 custom zombie maps, Left 4 Dead 2 custom campaigns, Killing Floor 2, Star Wars Battlefront co-op, GTAV and Dying Light.
I'm looking forward to playing the new Call of Duty WWII game.
My rig is the one in my signature.

I'm totally in for this! I'm adding to the requirement of the pc pics with why Dawn of War III would be the best part of the grand prize for me. I'll be totally honest that I've never purchased an Asus product before. I've never been too keen. That being said, reading these forums have made me give them another look and I'm more than willing to take an upgrade to use before the next round of updates to my house pc's is required. Now on to the pictures.

Shelf one

Shelf two

Shelf Three

Shelf Four - mainly Horus Heresy books

And the shelf complete

And yes, the Dawn of War books are in there.

So onto the current rig. Side on:

Photos of the current setup, shoehorned into a cabinet after losing the office to the 2nd kid ;)

Currently running:
i5 3570K
ASUS GTX 960,
16GB Corsair RAM
500GB SSD,
3 1TB storage drives
23" 144K LG monitor

Looking forward to playing Destiny 2 later this year - and being able to turn settings past medium on Overwatch, PUBG and every other game that's been released in the past 2 years ;) The upcoming Great Upgrade to a current gen i7 would be helped mightily by a beefy new video card!
 
I already have a 1070, but if I won another one, I could SLI them so I can play stuff in 4k and also be very comfortable when I get a VR headset.

As you can see, I already have a beast of a PSU ready for SLI. It was a leftover of my old altcoin mining rig I parted out 4 years ago.

My main system runs the 3 monitors across the big desk. I usually game on the 34" Dell. It's an i7-5820K, 64GB RAM, Samsung 950 Pro M.2 drive, and a 980ti. If I won the 1070 I'd get a second and SLI them. I am really looking foward to Shadow of War. Shadow of Mordor was awesome.

I'm actually in the process of building a computer and have yet to obtain a gpu for it. It's been a while since I've owned a desktop. Been using a labtop. Posted a oic of my current labtop and what I've done so far with my build. Be awesome to receive this card. A big fan of ASUS.

Thanks

My PC. :D
Currently playing Overwatch, looking forward to Quake Champions the most. Prey after that. But Quake will soak up almost all my time I think :D
IMG_0852.JPG
 
Getting back into Payday 2, then playing Dawn of War III (once I get a chance to buy it), Divinity: Original Sin 2 (once out of Beta; backed it on KS), and Torment Tides of Numernera (waiting on a big content patch before starting it; backed it on KS).

So, having issues getting the main rig to boot up, so I'm hoping the card will work out fine with the 8800 at least!

Old Rig.png


In all seriousness, below is my actual main rig :)

New Oldish Rig.png


i7-930 OCed 3.7GHz, GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R, G.Skill 6GB DDR3 (now 12GB), Two HD 5770's 1GB DDR5 in crossfire, KINGWIN|LZ-1000 1000 watt modular PSU, Antec 900, and a couple large HDDs (and an awesome Asus 144hz monitor). I'm thinking a 1070 or even a 1050 will enable me to finally be able to play Company of Heroes 2 on higher than 640x480 - but also rather looking forward to being able to play some Quake Champions! It should tide me over in the meantime and make for a nice transplant into a new build I'm planning on doing this summer... after using this same setup for the last seven years :)

Case is a Thermaltake Level 10 GT
I7 6700k
MSI z170 pro
32 GB of 3200 speed G skill
290X by Gigabyte
512 ADATA XPG NVMe
Seasonic 750w Mod PSU 80+
Zowie EC-1A Mouse
Zowie 27" 1440p 144hz Monitor

Got this case around 5 years ago. Replaced a few fans that have died but most of the big fans are still going. Really like the hot swap-able bays even though they are a bit delicate. Originally housed by Core i7-920

Currently playing way to much Rainbow Six Siege and had a lot of fun playing Nier:Automata. Will be doing a 2nd play through fairly soon.

I am kinda interested in Prey, I like good survival type games like Bioshock.

But excited for the new Shadow of Mordor coming soon!!! Loved the first one and played it through twice

Excuse the photo I am still getting unpacked in the new house. Yes that is a frog holding a cigar.

Game:

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds - This game is helping me develop an anxiety disorder. I need higher frame rates to compensate for my lack skill, and equipment finding capabilities.

Also wanting to be ready for DESTINY 2!!111

She's waiting to see how Ryzen pans out before getting the upgrade treatment, might not look like much but both the CPU/GPU had some serious legs and are OC'd to within an inch of their lives :). She's starting to show her age though as 120@1440 isn't viable in most games anymore.

She might not seem like anything special but she's my 800D and I love her anyways!

I am still running a 760gtx 4gb and would love to play Witcher 3. It just isn't enjoyable with this card, unfortunately!

Thanks!
 
Current desktop machine:

i7 6700K @ 4.6ghz
MSI Z170A SLI Plus
16GB G.Skill Ripjawz
Geforce GTX 980

Looking forward mostly to playing Quake Champions & the new Call of Duty WWII game.

Thank you for the giveaway! If I win the GTX 1070, will donate my current 980 to a needy [H] Member :)

BEHOLD…!!! Behold the Sadness that is my current 'gaming rig', if you can even call it that anymore…

Unknown generic MB
First generation i5 CPU
STOCK Intel CPU cooler
4GB RAM (2 @ 2GB DIMMs)
250GB HDD (so, So, SO slow on loading, well ANYTHING…!)
Nvidia GTX 650Ti (with 2GB RAM)
Old noisy PSU
Beat up Corsair chassis

Definitely needs more RAM & a SSD to be able to DO anything more than surf the Net…

My kid is eyeing the GPU so he can use it for streaming of his video game play (his rig is much newer in regards to MB/CPU/AIO/RAM/SSD; but he is rocking a 750Ti at the moment); I will more than likely just hand over the GPU so he can get his stream on…

I am currently saving for a new rig, but that is a Slow Endeavor…

Games I would be excited about playing if I could score one of these giveaway GPUs…?!?

Well, really just about anything…

I would definitely go back to GTA5 (current low RAM & older GPU really hindering my gameplay) and look forward to GTA6…

I have been wanting to play The Division & Watchdogs / Watchdogs 2 for awhile; but current system is a no go…

I am sure there will be plenty of cool new games coming out to want to play as well…!

Really tempted to just go back to a console, but I dunno…

I DO have a New In Box Corsair SF600 SFX PSU, just looking for the right boutique chassis to place it in (I mainly frequent the SFF sub-forum here & the forums over at SFF Network)…
 
Long time lurker here! It took me 2 years of work to afford the parts for this rig. Built it back in 2009, and even though I'm still using it, I think it's time for an upgrade!

I mainly play Team Fortress 2, but every year and every update makes it harder to run... plus there are tons of new games I would love to try!
On the top of my must play list are Batman: Arkham Knight and Overwatch. Help me SAVE Gotham!

THE RIG:
GPU: EVGA GeForce 8800GT (I just noticed I had the power cable unplugged after taking the pictures. Whoops! I normally have the card in the lower slot to separate dust build up from my CPU fan, but moved it up for a tighter picture :p)
Case: Thermaltake Armor+ VH6000 (I used to think this case was quite stylish! )
CPU: Intel q6600 @ 3.0gHz
Mobo: DFI LP LT P35-T2R (This company doesn't even exist anymore, but the motherboard is running strong! (y))
RAM: G.SKILL 8GB DDR2 1000

This is my HTPC build, with an Asus H77 motherboard and Core i3 3225. But EVGA got my money for the GPU, a GTX 750 Ti That's beginning to hit it's limits.

This is all in a Fractal Design Node 304 case, a beautiful black square that has enough cooling prowess (2x92mm in, 140mm out) to handle that GTX 1070. It also has enough space to fit it, as you can see form the measuring tape I've included!

IMG_3388.JPG


I'd be excited to play newer games like Sniper Elite 4. Hell, my mostly casual HTPC gaming would be more than satisfied from the 1050 Ti, let-alone the gargantuan 1070 :D

And no, the cables aren't managed, because it's easier to deal with the mess than to find a "perfect" quiet 140mm modular PSU that works with long graphics cards in the Node 304. I bought this way back in 2012, several years before Fractal started making their SFF modular PSUs available here.

So here's the rig.

Intel 7700k /w Scythe FUMA
MSI GTX 970
Samsung 960 EVO 500GB

It's currently looking sloppy in my old Fractal Design Define R3, but my new Cooler Master Silencio 352 and Alphacool Eisbaer 240 are arriving on Friday for the transition to micro ATX. Sadly the motherboard isn't going to be here until Wednesday next week so the rebuild will be delayed.

I'd love to have a shiny new Asus graphics card to power this rig. I'm wanting to get a VR setup and a 1070 would give my system the muscle to handle VR games properly. Can Asus chase the dragon out of my system? We'll see...
 
Please help me out! My current build is so old it doesn't even look real. But as you can see in the picture it is very real! Thanks in advance.

Would love to be able to take advantage of the 1050 or 1070 with playing R6: Siege, BF4/1, or any other game for that matter. Most everything in this picture is secondhand. Friend gave me the Mobo/CPU/RAM and PSU when my old system fried itself and I couldn't afford a new one. The video card was shipped to me from Sapphire for a facebook survey if i remember right. DVDR is from my old system, 2 1TB Seagates were free from work, the 1TB SSD was something I penny pinched for a few months to afford, back when my SO was still working (she's back in school now). Supporting my 8 year old and 8 month old daughters as well as my fiance on one income means upgrading is tough. Seeing that $1000+ price tag for a good system that won't need to be upgraded in a couple of years, that keeps me at bay every day, knowing that the $300 spent on a new processor, or even a combo, it could come back and bite my family in the roughest of ways. Just a few days back I stopped at Les Schwab for a balance due to some wheel wobble, found my 2 front tires were bald inside. $300 for 2 tires to be mounted, balanced, rotated with the rears, and then knowing I need to do another $100 soon to get an alignment... just the day before I'd told my fiance that I wasn't going to get the $200 table saw she wanted me to get because I wasn't sure it was smart in case something came up. The money wouldn't have broken us, but it'd of taken us back quite a bit more than I'd of liked. She's both happy I said no because it kept us from having to dig into our meager savings, but sad because it means another wait until we get another 3 check month that I might be able to afford the saw and lumber to make her the bed frame she wants.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Zalman CPU cooler, fan is dying and TIM needs replaced. another friend gave me a Noctua DH14 that I'll be putting on the next upgrade
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 in 4x2GB sticks.
Zalman ZM1000-HP PSU
2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda in Raid 1
1x 1TB Samsung 840 EVO
Sapphire 7970
All sitting in an old NZXT Beta. Old enough case that it still has the Geforce LAN sticker on it from the Hornet. Has to be at least 6 years old.

media-20170505.jpg
 
I would love to get into some Fallout 4 and probably some Overwatch on this!

A 1050TI / 1070 would also kick it up to 4K Netflix on the TV! :)

(And completely unrelated to video games, I may also have about 3 or 4K worth of GW Minis for WFB And 40K. Because I'm a fucking nerd.)

This is my current Rig, really. It seems my Audigy (on top) just died.

Looking Forward to the next CoD and SW Batthefront 2
 
So, present system:
i7-2.93Ghz, Asus P6 Extreme, 6GB triple-channel RAM, ATi HD4870-1Gb video, too many hard disks to count, including 3 removables, Win7x64U, all into that lovely 58" Samsung plasma.
20170505_133921.jpg


I really need to upgrade the entire system, but it's served me well since 2009, when I built it.

A new vidcard would serve me well, if not in that system, in a new one built from scratch.

Thanks!
 
I would be most interested in playing Dawn of War 3, Prey, & even going back and replaying Fallout 4 with better settings or 'gasp' 4K. I used to watercool the GPU but the block wouldn't fit into the chassis due to the width of the card. It would be nice to play again with higher quality settings without the GPU fans screaming away. It turns into the loudest thing in the room when I'm playing.
  • Z97A/USB3.1
  • I5-4670K Watercooled
  • 16GB G.Skill Ram

Having a family with two teenagers time and money for gaming is limited. This would be awesome to win and finally make the jump to 4K. I can see jumping to game being an even cooler experience specially playing the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront 2 and in 4K. How awesome would that be? I would then upgrade my monitor while passing my old monitor to my boys and upgrade them too. Thanks ASUS and [H] for putting this together for the community. My current rig is in my
signature below.

Build that has served me well over the years. It's starting to show its age on some newer games. Currently playing Witcher 3, even though its playable with my aging 560 Ti, a new GPU would make it come closed to how it should be experienced. It would probably be an incentive for a newer build.

Corsair Vengeance 8GB

Asus Z77 Sabertooth
EVGA 560 Ti

Recently got a new monitor and I underestimated the amount of GPU power that I would need to push it!
Looking forward to playing HL3.. when ever that gets released.
For non vapor ware games, I'm really looking forward to the new Shadow of War, System Shock 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Mesa (Zen).
