If you have problems with your backlog and computer, why do you want to enter for games you can't play?
Anyway, to answer your question, there's no rules against that:

I am studying abroad in Thailand, and the good PC's sell out pretty quickly. I am on a waiting list to get it within the next two months, and I'll play it then.
As far as backlogs, I've given 3 dozen games away, and most (if not all) have had a large backlog. So I'm no different. And I've purchased almost half outside of bundles.

While some users dislike gifting to a person with it in their inventory, there are no rules against doing so. Many users will buy a game they want just to giveaway.

You can. There are a lot of reasons why you can have a game in your inventory and not be able to play it. I currently have some games in my inventory that I'm waiting to send to a friend when he arrives from vacation, as a surprise. They are not mine to play, so I should be able to win them for myself.

There is no rule against it. Some people find it questionable that you would enter for a game you already have in inventory, but as others have mentioned, there could be a number of reason why you have the gift copy in the first place.

I purchased some games from the Steam Summer sale for gifts and giveaways, but have not purchased some of the games for myself due to my heavy backlog and problem getting a gaming computer at my current location. (Currently using HP laptop.)
Anyway, if I win a giveaway in which I already have a gift in my inventory, do the rules allow me to receive it? I scanned through the sticky but didn't see anything regarding this.
Thanks. Here's your GiveAway!!
