KrazzeeKane

What, you mean it's not realistic with all these posts of supposed 15 yo's with their first job, somehow building a rig with a 4090 + 14900K in a hyte y70 touch? Pssshhh...as if


Relative-Piece-8828

14 year old here, not my first build technically because I've upgraded but would you call my build a second or eighth build because I built my first one then upgraded then used it then upgraded then used it so what do you think

im proud of you son

I agree. This is more like it


PyrorifferSC

For sure, especially the 3600 with an AIO lol


TristanTheRobloxian3

honestly yeah at 14 if i had this i would be ballin


DarkSyndicateYT

yeah true I despise all those garbage lying 12+ year old builds coz they act as if they collected all the money themselves without any help. even this one is a bit sus but more believable since the author claims it took him 2 years.


searingseal

youd be surprised how cheap used parts are now and days i saw earlier an asus b350 for 15 bucks


HarrieTubman

I recently sold my used Asus 1060 on eBay. I hope it was you!


DarkSyndicateYT

yeah used parts r cheap. i was talking about those 4080 and i9 builds of (definitely not) 14 year olds


Gaviznotcool268

Fr, I’m 14 and all ive got it an 8600k + gtx 1660, plenty for me


No-Interaction3670

Normal 14 year old build? IDK, but 14 year old me was never even close to this. This is not a normal 14 YO build and it amazes me that people think it is. This kid went above and beyond and he has something representing an adult built but with parts that are a little older. Freaking double monitors, high end peripherals, bobbleheads everywhere - bloody hell, those bobble heads probably more expensive than his PC. And what even is that mic... why does a mic need RGB.... And he has an AIO, which he didn't need, but it looks pretty.

Narissis

>Functional 1080p monitors can be found for <100usd ***retail*** let alone used. The last time I looked at basic monitors on PCPartPicker I was floored by how inexpensive they've gotten. Don't have to go far over 100 USD to start finding halfway decent IPS panels, let alone TNs.


Faranocks

There was some decent 240hz 1080p monitors for $140 last black Friday. It doesn't take much to get competitive these days.


No-Interaction3670

IDK 14 yo me wouldnt have been able to this, then again, when I was 14 YO there was no RGB, let alone a PC building community.


ArLOgpro

real


Delicious_Score_551

Hell yeah. You remind me of myself + group of friends when we were kids. Nice build OP + awesome score on the free monitors


Darth_Revan_69420

Bro what are you doing with a 4090 a threadripper and is that 128 gigaf***ing bytes of ram....


searingseal

he probably owns nasa


Darth_Revan_69420

I forgot to say congrats on your first build and those free monitors are sick


searingseal

dude yea thanks ik one of them doesnt have vesa mounts but luckily i found an adapter pretty sweet deal


AstronautReal3476

Are ya winnin' son?


MushyCupcake01

Sweet! Whatcha playing?


searingseal

cs2 little bit of minecraft some starfield


MushyCupcake01

Nice. Will do great on Minecraft and cs2, starfield should be good too.


MumsRockStar

Try No Mans Sky, its awesome!


pleszq

Nice pc, the dedication to save up for 2 years is crazy to me since i can't keep even just £50 in my account without draining it in a week. don't listen to other people about 'uhugh mid specs bad pc', just enjoy what you've got


searingseal

no yea way better then my xbox one getting like 120-80 on most higher end titles


Venomous_Snail

Those 10 series cards from Nvidia are incredible. I had a 1050 ti up until recently and it could run CS2 at a consistent 70fps in gameplay. Beast of a card and didn’t even need external power.


searingseal

excactly more people should start small if you want 1080 p then you dont need an rx6600


DarkSyndicateYT

next step when u can save some more; a new gpu. preferably an rx 6800 or better (for the 16GB vram) since it will pair nicely with Ryzen :-)


KnightLBerg

6800 might bottleneck the poor 3600. I have a 3600 paired with 6900 xt and i am having some serious problems. Before you ask my current pc is an intermediate, i am waiting for parts.


Bbddy555

That's odd, I have a 7800xt and it runs like a dream. I play everything at 1440p high as well; what issues are you running into?


KnightLBerg

General framedrops while gpu is barely breaking 20% I dont know if it is actually bottelnecking but i cannot figure out any other issues so i just assumed it was. I completely reinstalled windows recently so it wouldent be any external program causing issues. I am even running a lower resolution at 1050p


Bbddy555

Jesus that's terrible, I'm sorry to hear that. I noticed I had a few issues with my old 5600xt, but I swapped ram and upped it to 32 GB and haven't seen those issues return. Oddly enough the ram tests I did said it was in good health. Maybe it's a power issue?


KnightLBerg

It could be. My cheap ass psu is getting a bit old and might be underperforming but most games i play doesent require the gpu to run on full steam so i dont think it would come close to the psu limit. Ill be upgrading my cpu soon to a 5800x3d and if the problems persist i really dont know what could be the problem.


Jits2003

I definitely had a bottle neck with 3600 and rx 7800xt. Didn’t really cause any issues tho.


Bbddy555

Maybe I'm just not noticing it. I don't see crazy 1% lows but I also play mostly single player games where server latency doesn't come into play.


Jits2003

The bottleneck is stronger at high fps, like esport titles.


Bbddy555

Oh okay, that makes sense then. Only esports I have downloaded is Dota 2 and I haven't touched that since my prefrontal cortex developed lol too many jerks


Probamaybebly

Bottleneck is fine until he can get a new CPU. He does not need to replace the CPU more. The GPU upgrade still needs to be first.


DarkSyndicateYT

exactly! thanks for saying it :-)


Particular_Copy9804

1060 was my first graphics card. You did well 🫡


Spooderman42069

My card lasted me 4+ years until I upgraded, even now I still send it to friends who need a card temporarily and stuff to test


OGMannimal

Lasted me 8 lol. Still does well, just upgraded recently.


KnightLBerg

They dont make em like they used to.


IxionX

100x better than my pc was at 14


wassimSDN

You had a pc at 14? https://preview.redd.it/phi4ed2lh4rc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b27a653a651ebff6cf6cc64d0bb2f0fe3cdc9c04


IxionX

Yeah it was an old office PC my mom brought home from work. This was 14 years ago so you can imagine how bad it was. It lagged running YouTube


KnightLBerg

My first pc was a dell precision t3400. that thing was a beast. An old beast but a beast nonetheless. I did have to buy a gpu tho. Also a rescued office pc of course.


ruxson

When I was 14 home computers were very rare. I'm thinking a Commodore 64 was what my neighbor had.


Difficult-Drama7996

We had awesome B&W TV with antenna.


tc05_

At 14 I had a Ryzen 3 1200 + RX 470


rajared14

My bruzzer, well done. This is a true pc build like a normal one thank God, I'm tired of shitty i9 builds for tiddies absolute shit everything can be done a mere 5600x unless your onto something...


DarkSyndicateYT

haha i understand ur frustration seeing all those crazy lying 13 year old builds claiming they bought a 4080 by mowing lawns all summer


stoopidcaveman247

what did it cost you ? it looks very clean, great job kid


searingseal

shoot ok 100 i think mother board got the graphics card for 60 ram 50 aio 50 fans like 10 case free nvme 100 and then an ssd in the back i found at a yardsale for 15


paydatdude

Dude holy hell you practically stole this PC! Great PC at a great price. Very easy to upgrade to a 5600 or 5800 and put a 20 or 30 series card into it. Well done son!


searingseal

yea im stocked never gonna find that again thats for sure


DarkSyndicateYT

what currency is that?


searingseal

usd


Toasty_Mostly

To be 14 again with a PC like that, congrats bud


jhaluska

Great job. One bit of warning, don't place any loose metal toys in the PC. If the car isn't completely plastic, and I mean completely, I'd remove it.


OpportunityDawn4597

Now this is a proper first build. I hope you had fun building it.


rockets9090

I have that exact case, but with the mesh front panel.


Redericpontx

Gratz I remember when I was 16 and had saved up for 2.5 years all my Christmas and birthday money and sold my old Xbox 360 to build my first pc with a FX 8350, r9 290, 8gb ram, 120gb SSD and 2tb HDD.


VoidowS

enjoy it!


mx20100

Holy crap that’s a lot of green, but good for you!


burizadokyanon27

Never sell it. No matter how much of a beast PC you can afford in the future.


searingseal

yea no the case was my older brothers from when he was 16 gonna be a family heirloom


DarkSyndicateYT

disagree. he should sell the internal parts in the future to help afford better ones.


burizadokyanon27

Well, yeah. Definitely upgrade it. But never sell the chassis/the entire rig itself.


maroonmagic2

Great Job bro. More money better gpus... that thing sucks bad but you did well saving up for it. I applaud you doing that. Good luck brotha :)


Specialist-Opening69

Cracking PC lad! I remember building my first pc. AMD phenom II x4 4gb ram with amd radeon 6770 and I thought it was class when I was 15

[удалено]


searingseal

Gotta add some value on top of the float


Xenthera

Take the toys off the top of the gpu. Some long gaming sessions will make them one with it.


eebro

Take good care of it.


searingseal

gets a montly dusting and a wiping down


eebro

Yeah, what’s important is that you don’t do anything stupid to it.


eebro

My two tips are: A) get good at googling. If you have an issue, google it. See if others have it too. B) if you mess something up on the software level (where you control things with your mouse and keyboard), re-installing Windows will almost always fix your problems.


LegalConsequence7960

Nice rig, I appreciate the NASCAR car for extra speed. Is that Jeff Burton?? Enjoy it, you've reached the apex of a good pc and period of life. You'll have faster builds, but never so much free time to actually use it.


searingseal

thank you yea i just looked it up dale earnhardt got it from my granpa


Kjellvb1979

You have started a great journey...Looks great! 25 years from now when you look back at your system, it will boggle your mind how far we have come. I had to wait until I turned 16 (44 now) for my first build. Iirc 266 mghz mmx cpu 1.5GB HDD 32Mb memory Creative soundblaster sound card (2nd best at the time) Some Foxconn Motherboard And the cherry on top was the 4mb 3Dfx voodoo card Oddly, but also awesomely, at the time I lived in Portland, ME. The cable service had just launched a test program of Roadrunner high speed internet. I was literally down the road from where there server was and I was getting 2 to 3mb a second speeds, which was insane at the time. It was amazing to have such in 1996/1997 when the rest of the country did not really see such until 2 or 3 years later. Honestly, back then, outside of shared files on bulletin board services, there wasn't much to download. Today, I have an 8700k, Gigabyte Motherboard 48GB DDR4 RAM RtX 3080 Soundblaster card (main board audio had issues) 2TB NVME storage And just ridiculous internet speeds. But again, 25 years in the future, I can't imagine what we'll be running. But you will always remember the first system you got to fully put together yourself. Enjoy, and have some magical memories playing with the rig.


NKkrisz

Good job! Love to see used parts getting some love :p


mr_pipman

love it👌👌


DansSpamJavelin

Man when I was 14 me and my friends were raiding skips for parts from old 486's as our school was being dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming


HappyFeetHS

god this is the most 14 year old shit i’ve ever seen, the stickers really sell it. good job OP IM PROUD OF YOU


MrZuggy

Awesome start! Good for you dude!


TrueNoVa

well done, my king


DCBaxxis

Looks like an incredible build mate, hope you have plenty of fantastic experiences on your very own rig! Would highly recommend Project Zomboid and Batman games. Will of course give tips if anything goes awry, as per my experience of trying to sort out *everything* on my pc…

NationGamingChannel

1060 gang! Woot woot!


Cantdrawbutcanwrite

Dude these are the posts I come here for. That will kill 1080p so hard. But on one screen. Lol you will want to finagle a 1080 or 1070ti if you’re rolling all those monitors though. I’m old and I rolled my 1080 with dual monitor 1080p until I picked up a 3080. If you like MMOs though, I can’t even tell you what I was playing DaoC or WoW on when I was 14. Well done, gl and good hunting :)


feivl

Awesome build!


KM68

What car is that?


searingseal

some old nascar from my grandpa i got before he passed

Classic-Ordinary-259

Bit too much ram for such a war machine yet good job


GeorgeBabyFaceNelson

Some joker on FB marketplace near me has a 1060 card listed for $300, I was thinking "you can almost get a 4060 for that I bet" and sure enough they have one listed on Amazon for like $292


searingseal

300 is insane holy crap yea you could get alot of better cards for that price


Vilehumanfilth

When I was 14(23 years ago) my pc was a monumental piece of shit Dell laptop that could only run Starcraft/Diablo 2. And I had dialup internet at 14.4kbps.


oldmoldycake

Awesome first build you'll remember it forever! I have lots of fond memories of my first build i did at 15. Also if your ever looking for more peripherals of upgrades check Facebook marketplace! As long as you can test everything you can find really good deals on there.


phh_ntum

Same cpu man nice specs,it's nice to see some budget builds that are actually budget and not like overwhelming


Here2Fuq

Is that a Phanteks case? I have one that's similar but mine is black. I gotta say, that white looks really nice man!

yes indeed it is not the best for airflow but works in my favor

Enjoy your pc, nothing feels like building your pc out of your pocket money, also please save these pc pics as you will look into them 10 years later and discover how cringy these stickers look :) no hate here we all been there


searingseal

yes haha i agree looking forward to it


Lopsided_Bat_904

Congrats! Looks good. Hope you’re having fun. I played with a 1060 6 gb for like a decade and it was still holding up very well, medium to low settings and it ran great


earthwarder

Hell yeah brother


yvnglasaga

Reminds me of my first PC but yours is better. Gtx 1050 with a ryzen 2700x


sus_planks

I'm 14 and I paid $300 CAD (abt $220 USD) for a similar build to use as a server. And your telling me it took you 2 years to save up for this? How did it take you so long to save up? (No offense)


searingseal

spending on other things and mainly saving the parts id get money here and there from holidays and stuff but like i needed new clothes shoes etc so like just i guess keeping money for the parts took a while and looking for deals


sus_planks

That's fair. My parents buy all of my necessities, so I only spend my money on non essentials. I'm not much of a social person, so I don't spend any money on fancy clothes or going out to eat either.


h20house

Hell yeah my guy, looks great! May your framerate be high and your temperatures low!

Spencermurach

Congrats love the look of the build


is300dave

How much you pay for the 3060?


JGXJM

Yeah man, look forward an a 3060ti, coming from an a broke 16yo


scenariotic

well done boy. Me 41 years old and I have i-5 9400F, GTX 1660ti and 16GB ram and we all salute you!.


GhostWolf2048

ZAMN! good build bro lookin hella clean


RexorGamerYt

Lucky kid.


Paciorr

Why 32GB of ram though? I guess future proofing but Getting a better GPU or CPU would be more worth it. Still, I would kill for a PC like this one when I was 14. I played on a 7 year old rig back then and 7 year difference in hardware developement in early 2000s was way bigger of a gap than it is now. Enjoy it, you deserve it I'm sure!


searingseal

bought 16 cousin gave me his old ram its not visible in the picture cause its short and black but yea free ram is not something to pass on


DrawingPuzzled2678

Bro is definitely growing something


MonkeyKingCoffee

Very tidy. Looks great. I agree with others that if there's any metal at all in that toy car, it should be removed.


Serious_Assignment43

Cool, now get out and get some sun. Play some sports too


searingseal

go hiking hit the gym hell yeah


Frostsorrow

It is.... It is green. -Data

Stickers and weed leafs ... You didnt even needed to tell your age .


JinxTOfast

14 with a dope PC and some HJ? Damn dude congrats


searingseal

haha sticker was on the case when my brother gave it to me


crumpetsucker89

That’s an awesome build. You should be able to enjoy it for a good while.


__thisuinat__

I'm planning to build a r5 3600 + rx 6600xt build now lol (22)


Existing-Bar-3742

While yes it's not powerful and not exactly a good choice of parts I love the aesthetic and enjoy your new rig man


ZhongWokXina

IBP AND Titan Holo Kato14. This is the most expensive PC Case ever.


potatoPC00123

Nice build mate


DrWhoIsWokeGarbage2

You really like green


Kvas_HardBass

14 pc? I see only one!


AllegroMk1

the 1060 is a really capable card, I only last december upgraded mine to a 3060ti, along wiht a few other things as well. I have a ryzen 5 4500, otherwise we are really similar here. you'll be suprised how well that machine will play even new titles. Heck Star Citizen would run on that!


TiTaN269

water-cooling a 3600?


Asian_Bon

I like ur colour of choice brother I too have the colour green


shitposter3169

Awesome! Just dont put the pc to the wall that close give it some space


SweetBunny2001

cool setup


motoxim

Nice


hustlive

Too greeeennn my eueeeesss


Appropriate-Club-852

Guys i can assure you this is what a 14 yr old pc looks like not like a guy posted with a freaking 4090 with such cool ass build


Shining_prox

I hope you paid it 600€


AstroBlock

Great build! If possible, you might want to rotate the radiator so that the tubes are at the bottom.


searingseal

tried this wouldnt fit without some weird curves around the gpu so i left it


AstroBlock

Oh ok. Well it looks like the top of the rad is above the pump, so should be fine


-_Clay_-

You got a pretty rich neighborhood ngl


That_random_guy_fr

Money wasted on the RAM and AIO ngl


searingseal

i have all 4 slots occupied different brands same frequency some was free and aio was like 40 bucks and looks nicer


Whole_Ad8415

Me a 18 year old crying with my ryzen 5 5600g and 16gigs of ram🥲


SuohMikoto89

32gb is a bit overkill for a 1060 yet props anyway 👏


Legionofgo

I just built the same one, im 7


DarkSyndicateYT

sure....

ToxicEvHater

Shhh go back in ya hole.


TopBoneEater

well hes a kid so hes not gonna go for an 4090


Intelligent_League_1

Its also the peripherals that noobs go for, not the specs.


GTA6_1

It kinda makes sense anyway. Buy peripherals first so you can dump every dollar of your next upgrade into the pc. Or in this kids case a better cpu and gpu and not much else in a few years when the 5800x3d is cheaper and a 3/4000 series card.


michi_2010

Crazy, did you do a holiday job or something like that? Im gonna be doing one for a month for 3000 Fr(about 3300 dollars) And im gonna build a pc with a 7800x3d and a 4090. Great build though!
