If you've read our Core i7-3960X review and are drooling over Intel's latest and greatest CPU but can't afford to pay the high price associated with this processor, Intel gives you a chance to get it for free in a giveaway it announced earlier today.

This will last for the next four weeks, with every week bringing a new prize.

The giveaway start at 9AM PT and end at 5PM PT, 7 days later and the contest begins today.

This week's prize is a Core i7-3930K with a DX79SI motherboard, while next week will upgrade this kit to feature the 3960X instead of the i7-3930K.

On the third week the prize will be a 3960X, DX79SI, Intel RTS2011LC cooler and Intel 510 SSD, while the last week of the giveaway brings the biggest prize of this promotion, a hand selected build from Newegg using the 3960X valued at over $5,000.

The contest rules and entry information is available on Intel's Facebook page, but basically you have to explain in about 32 seconds why you deserve to build the ultimate unlocked PC.
