Back on 4th May, KitGuru kicked off a major piece of research and we would like to thank the many thousands of you who took the time to complete a detailed survey. You certainly told us what's hot or not in your opinion! 

We have now been through the responses and randomly pulled out a winner.

The lucky recipient of an 8GB GTX1070 from Palit will be Jaskaran Bal!   His prize will be winging its way to him shortly and we're hoping that he will share a shot of himself, with the GTX1070, on Facebook when it arrives.

KitGuru says: We're grateful for all of your support with our research!   It really helps us understand more about the kind of content that you are most interested in.

A few weeks ago we teamed up with Aria and Gladiator PC to organise a ‘spec and win’ competition, calling all KitGuru readers to put together the best £800-£1200 build possible and in exchange, the best entry would be rewarded with a brand new PC, built by Gladiator. After much consideration, a winner has finally been chosen today!

In the end, the person who won had the best technical design, choosing all compatible parts to produce a great PC gaming experience while also allowing room for expansion. The winner also made sure that all of the parts chosen would look good together and be complemented by lighting strips. The budget also left room for a 1080p gaming monitor.
