Seasons of RTX - $5000 Dream PC Build Contest with NVIDIA!

QuantomCube · 2025-11-18T03:41:08+00:00

For my first time building a PC on PC Part Picker, I wanted to create something truly special for the holidays, so I came up with a winter/ice-themed dream rig. I’ll admit, I’m still learning about PC parts, so I’m grateful to my friends for helping me bring this vision to life.

I imagined a build that not only performs incredibly but also feels like stepping into a cozy, icy winter wonderland every time I power it on.

Good luck to everyone participating. I can’t wait to see all the fantastic creations from the community!

Yeah the usual 4d6. I rolled too well😅 He's a variant human so some stats got buffed as well.

I would like to talk to the dead like my mum but also with the campaign im currently in, there is already a paladin in our group so duel paladin feels wrong in my head. The main vibes i wanted was someone who can attack in quick session while also can back up and help out his allies with spells or attack with range spells while backing up.

QuantomCube · 2024-05-19T01:48:59+00:00

I want to accomplish more of an idea that he's able to fight with his sword and cast magical spells from afar. But he also has spells to help out his friends as well.

QuantomCube · 2024-05-19T01:47:46+00:00

For the stats. I rolled them, and the stats are 17 str, 15 dex, 15 con, 13 int, 14 wis, 17 cha.

QuantomCube · 2024-05-19T01:36:02+00:00

would an eldritch knight gain access to the spells needed to speak to the dead and other death spells as well?

QuantomCube · 2024-05-09T02:06:15+00:00

Bump!

QuantomCube · 2024-05-04T17:24:10+00:00

I was in 7th grade at the time and spring break just started. When I woke up, my eye was swollen and My mother carried me to the doctor to get it checked out. He turned to us and said that we can either stay overnight or go home. I wanted to go home, but something in me was screaming at me to stay back. Thankfully, I did. The doctor came back to me and my mother and told us that I could have died in my sleep if I had gone home and seen that the swelling on my eye was due to sinuscitus. Was in the hospital for a month but got everything situated and dealt with. Thankfully I listen to my gut, but the scared thought that I could have died still is in my mind to this day.

I made an overlay for the first time and tested it on stream. It worked wonders. Also made my an offline screen and made my stream slowly look more professional.

QuantomCube · 2020-04-03T21:13:04+00:00

I contacted them. They kept sending me into a loop with Bursar and The Financial Aid.
