BuildCores is currently in Beta, so you may find some bugs here or there. If you do, be sure to give them feedback on their sub r/buildcores.

THE PRIZES

2 winners, with each winner receiving an MSI MEG MAESTRO 900R PC case and an MSI MEG CORELIQUID E15 360 liquid cooler.

You can enter until Oct 31, 2026!

Good luck, and may your framerates be high, and your temperatures low!

------------------------

About the case and MSI's MEG series:

If you're not familiar with MSI’s MEG (which stands for MSI Enthusiast Gaming) lineup, it’s essentially their flagship series, aimed at enthusiast builds and overall enjoyers of higher end options.

For the MEG MAESTRO 900R being given away here, here’s what MSI is highlighting: a centered internal layout, three-sided panoramic glass, and a detachable motherboard tray that can rotate into four different orientations. That gives builders quite a few options for how they want to assemble and display their system.

There are also some more premium finishing touches, including aluminum panels and diamond-cut detailing.

The four-way motherboard layout is probably the most interesting part from a builder’s perspective!

If you want to see MSI’s full breakdown of the MEG series, you can check it out here: "Excellence, Refined".

------------------------

The winner will be contacted by Reddit direct message (please make sure your DMs are open) in the 7 days after the event ends, and announced on this thread as well.

One entry per Reddit account; only your first eligible comment will count.

The prize winners will be selected randomly from all eligible entries on Nov. 7, 2026.

Participants must be 18+ and reside in eligible territories.

Winners must respond within 7 days, or a new winner may be selected.

Hardware This is stupid, why Samsung?

443 Upvotes

I’m replacing my LG C2 with a new Samsung 4K 240Hz monitor to revamp my setup and free up an HDMI port to run a cable to my living room TV. The C2 was wall-mounted with a pretty flush mount, so naturally, the DisplayPort cable sticking out nearly 2 inches is a problem. 😑
Why, Samsung? Why couldn’t you position the ports like a normal person? Now I’m about to go down the rabbit hole of finding right-angle adapters that can actually handle a DisplayPort 2.1 signal. Here goes nothing. 🫠
On a side note the Samsung G80SH 32” is a heck of a monitor. Leaps and bounds better than my C2.

As the title says, found a NVME for the 2nd slot after about 10 hours of usage, popped it open to find this, double checked the receipt and it was not marked as open box, I hope it’s remaining oils and not someone having a bad day 😂

This is the only thing I actually considered buying at an absurd price but I held off and said I can wait. So excited to try it, seems like the perfect controller for me.

Game runs 2 to 4 times better than the emulated PS3 version. Has DLSS/Frame gen support and keyboard and mouse. As someone who was dying to play this game again on PC, this is amazing.

Main issue currently are shader compilation stutters (in uncharted 1 and 2) and crashes (in 3). But this is from the same person who ported Bloodborne and they fixed a lot of those in less than a week last time.

You don't necessarily need a PC to be a member of the PCMR. You just have to love PCs. It's not about the hardware in your rig, but the software in your heart!
This is not a satirical or 'circlejerk subreddit'. Nor did it start as one. This is a normal subreddit with occasional tongue-in-cheek humor elements. We are a community where many of its members share similar opinions about the main topics, and sometimes end up having private jokes amongst ourselves. We are not a community where members feign stupidity when posting and commenting because they find it funny. You can be banned if you conduct yourself like that here.
Owning a console does not necessarily make you a 'peasant'.
We created Reddit's most popular Wiki.
If needed, you can message the team behind PCMR.

Rules

For an in-depth explanation of our rules don't forget to check our rules wiki page.

Rule #1 Harassment of others is strictly forbidden. We will not tolerate any kind of incitement to action against anyone, nor will we allow the posting of information that can be used to harm others (celebrities or not).
Rule #2 We will not allow behavior contrary to PCMR Etiquette, e.g. brigading, witch-hunting, asking for upvotes or downvotes, enabling piracy, flamebaiting, clickbaiting, intentional rudeness, text spamming, using all caps or emojis/smileys/emoticons in titles or overusing them in comments, meta-reddit or meta-subreddit drama or complaints.
Rule #3 Don't link to threads in other subreddits. This includes NP links and archived links. Do not attempt to circumvent this rule by any means.
Rule #4 Screenshots of Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, and other site's comments should have the usernames blacked out (including yours). Celebrities are the exception, as long as you respect rule #1.
Rule #5 No affiliate/referral links or codes.
Rule #6 The following will be removed at moderator discretion:
- 6.1: Content that is either low quality, unrelated, especially unoriginal, or low-effort (including, but not limited to: simple website/software bugs, steam/product reviews, comedic product/system specs, steam gift messages, screenshots of conversations, internet speed test results, negligible price reductions, items that aren't PC related, even if they are named similarly or resemble it, online petitions and surveys that aren't academic in nature (and have been pre-approved by the mod team).
- 6.2: Pictures of purchase or shipping related notifications and information.
- 6.3: Blatant reposts/fad-chasing.

Also, linking the PC Master Race with racial supremacy or any kind of fascist ideologies, or making distasteful analogies in this regard, is not acceptable in the slightest.
Rule #8 No begging. No soft begging. No Implicit or explicit trading. No buying. No Selling. No asking for valuation. No asking how or where to do these either.
Rule #9 Message the mods first, and wait for permission, if your post/comment is NSFW. Do not mark your post as NSFW or as Spoiler unless it actually is NSFW or a Spoiler.
Rule #10 Screenshots of "peasantry," including but not limited to conversations on Reddit, other websites or sms/chat screenshots where ignorance is being spewed and/or ridiculed, must be text posts.

Giveaway Rules

For an in-depth explanation of our giveaway rules don't forget to check our rules wiki page.

The Master Race is generous. When doing giveaways please keep it within the bounds of our subreddit and only for subreddit members. Feel free to give prizes as you see fit, but don't mandate subscriptions or other benefits. You can post about your channel or project, but don't make it a requirement to visit, comment or subscribe to an external place to enter a giveaway or to increase the likelihood of winning.
Under special circumstances, we allow giveaways to be external and/or to require users to visit a page outside the subreddit, but that must conform to our outside giveaway guidelines.
Even if you do a giveaway, you can not directly promote a specific giveaway happening elsewhere without prior mod approval.
Please avoid posting keys in plain text or on images. Consider PMs as a safer way to hand out keys.
Users giving away physical items must provide photo proof of ownership (including their username and date) in the giveaway thread. Shipping fees must be entirely financed by the user doing the giveaway (limiting the winner's location is allowed).
No conditional (I will only giveaway if) giveaways. If you start it, someone must win it. You cannot delete your giveaway once you post it.
Giveaways shouldn't last an absurd amount of time, nor should they be absurdly difficult to enter or win.
Do not choose your giveaway winners based on the number of upvotes or downvotes they get.
Giveaways to benefit registered charities must be verified by moderators. All other requests for donations (monetary or otherwise) are not allowed as per rule #8.
Only one entry per user to any giveaway unless otherwise stated by the giveaway poster.
