If I win this graphics card, I would give it to a friend as a present. He can't afford a new one and still has a HD4870.
This is my PC, which is basically good enough for me:

Here's mine:

Created this pc with Dell leftovers, here are specs:
CPU: i7-2600
RAM: 16gb (no clue what brand)
GPU: AMD 6670 (got it from a friend)
PSU: 450W Cooler Master (i think)
MOBO: Asrock Z77 Extreme

Btw: The only reason I have the PSU facing up is because this is on a carpet (just in case someone's wondering)

the one and only watercooled ThermalTake Element S. That's an Asus P55 mobo with an i5 750 and 2x 5870 in xfire. the case is heavily modified to take all that gear inside but i really need to upgrade that beauty... 290 is an excellent first step.

Started out as GT5432 (Gateway), with:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
Nvidia GeForce 6150SE(integrated)
1GB DDR2

I have since upgraded the RAM to 3GB and a friend donated a PNY 9800GT and a new PSU.

The HDD has since failed and I am using my external HDD as my drive now. And I'm still on Vista.

If I get this card I will build a PC deserving of it.

So, my PC does need a little updating :)

It's a seven year old Dell Inspiron 530. All parts kept original except the 9500 GT. That was added in Jan. 2012. Before, it ran the crappy Intel HD Graphics.

Specs:
Intel Pentium E2140 Dual Core @1.6 GHz
1 GB (512 MB x 2) DDR2 RAM @667 MHz (even smartphones have more RAM)
Galaxy Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 1 GB DDR2
Foxconn G33 Chipset Motherboard
Seagate 250 GB 7200 RPM HDD
Some Chinese made 300 or 350W PSU

Pics (warning: there's quite a bit):

(Yes, it's still running Vista Home Basic)

(Also, yes, there's only one case fan but, the temps still somehow don't go over 40C. Don't know what they are under load though)

I was already planning on getting a new PC this summer so with the free GPU, I'll be able to get a better CPU and a PSU, since I heard this R9 290 requires a powerful PSU, something over 600W I guess.

 


just get a imgur or image shack or whatever, upload pic, and and go to forum when it ask you what kind of code you want thats how i posted my rig. Im on page 4 going for gold(r9 290)
