For $300 my rig gets you playing Fortnite,(the sole target of this contest) at 1080P, medium 60+ FPS and still worth while parts.

I'd be interested to hear how it's not at least a runner up.
I even clearly called out that the mobo did not require a bios update.

The ASRock - AB350M Micro mobo doesn't have a video out (unless I'm missing something) so how does a system (both runner-up's) with that board and no dedicated GPU qualify?

I am however, glad you guys picked winners this time though instead of voting.

Community Voting would have been the way to go.

Not sure if you have checked but unless the link is to the wrong board, I went back through and fixed, before the contest ended to a board that had video out.

If you fixed it before the contest ended that's cool and good job. I did try to warn people on the 14th before it ended.

@ ibjeepr & drinkcola

This happens when the standard is unclear and no test on the build. FPS/Dollar or voting is the only way to go. If former, those builds get zero.

Yep. When I saw your comment, I went and checked my build and shifted it to the ASROCK AB350M Pro4 from the other one that was in there.
