Everyone here needs an upgrade, but when will the competition stop being about who has the worst rig and instead about who is the most dedicated to their rig?
 
Vince with his ‘PotatoSama’ gets my vote this time, good luck!

Don't want to sound mean but everyone it's free to make their own choice, also the series is called "Upgrade my PC Please" after all, not "Feel my Pain Please", everyone has/had their own pains when building/upgrading and still could be as dedicated to their rig as the other contestants.

Vince should have bought a GPU instead of spending so much on a 7700k /s
 
Many people are saying Vince deserves it, but he could easily get a graphics card for sub $100 to play some games. If you're willing to look at the used market, it could be even cheaper. Why when he doesn't even think its worth saving a little to get a better computer experience does he deserve to win?

Yes he has the worst rig, but I could build a similar one to his PC probably sub $200 and win something valued over $500 with the way the community is voting. He's basically just getting a new rig with all the upgrades Steve will be providing.
 
Everyone here needs an upgrade to their PC, but I'm really hoping Darwin wins! I can see he's trying to keep his rig up-to-date.

Well... at this moment, his outlook is pretty grim.
 
Potatosama for sure! Don’t know how one can survive with intergrated graphics let alone game. All the best Vince and good luck :)
 
Vince's PotatoSama is getting my vote. Not even a dedicated graphics card!

I understand that you think he needs it the most because his PC is the worst, but he clearly doesn't think its worth much of his money to upgrade any part of his PC. At that point, why does he deserve the upgrade? He put little effort and money into making his PC work for his needs. Used deals are everywhere if you're willing to spend some time to look for them. I'm a student with little to no income and lots of debt, yet because I love my PC what money I have left over I put into it and as a result will have a worse chance of winning in this competition if I ever get selected. I don't get to eat out, I don't get to go to movies, I don't get to go to bars because all that is too expensive, I know that a single night out could sometimes add up to buy me a new PC part, so I never do it.

With the way you and others are voting, I should just buy random parts as cheap as I can, submit it here and get $500 worth of parts for maybe as little an investment as $100. I think people who invested their money, their time into their rig but can't afford the latest and greatest parts should be the ones winning, not Vince.
 
With all the bad luck darwin had, I think he deserves the upgrade the most. :)) still goodluck to everyone
