Whether you’re looking to upgrade your computer or build a new one, get a new phone, beef up the stereo system in your home or in your car, get a new flat screen TV or just some new flats, Newegg’s endless list of products means a cool thousand bucks will get you a lot of cool stuff.

If you’re coming up against the hardware limitations of your Mac, or just can’t afford one that performs at the level you need, you could always just build the machine you need. Spend a little bit of time on Newegg, and you’ll see that there’s basically no component they don’t carry, and no machine you can imagine that can’t be built. Getting the best parts for your personal computer can be costly, but with the Newegg $1000 Gift Card Giveaway even the highest-performing machine suddenly seems within reach.
