This PC was built in collaboration as a contest of my peers between me and 3 other Tech YouTubers to build the ultimate gaming PC for just $400, not a single penny more! Naturally, I went after the best possible bang for my buck I could muster to unlock the most price-to-performance. This lead me to scoop up an HP Z420 work station containing an already powerful 6core / 12 threaded Xeon CPU and 16GB of ram to pair with an RTX 2070 GPU. Well, the rest as you can see is history!
This listing will be paused until the competition concludes, which will be during this live stream at 5PM PDT on 6/29 During the stream, we will announce that the PCs are officially for sale and unpause the listings so that they become purchasable. We've teamed up with Jawa to get YOU a big discount when buying this PC! Use code "PCTECHHUSTLEJAWA" to get $100 off!
This PC will be shown off LIVE during a YouTube Live Stream, hosted by Nerd on a Budget, don't miss it! Livestream at 5pm PST

Disclaimer: This was a full HP z420 workstation swap to convert it into a gaming PC. Some cutting, drilling, and cable splicing was done to complete this project. However do not fret, as all this was done carefully and professionally, there are no existing issues that prevent this PC from delivering a fantastic gaming experience. Bootup error codes will be present, simply hit the f1 button to proceed to windows. For explicit details of this build, check out my linked YouTube video where I break it all down.
