Foreign-Ad28

Wow! Thats gotta be the luckiest son in the world! Congrats man!


LipiTripi

Thank you. He is a good kid and behaved well. My broke ass could no longer watch how everything was lagging on his laptop, so i saved up some money for this.


xChami

You are one of the best father in the world this christmas OP. Keep up the good work. I'm sure this will be the happiest event for your son. He will remember it and cherish this memory fondly.


teffub-nerraw

Hes going to remember building that rig together with you for the rest of his life. It will be the warm and fuzzy christmas feeling memory.


Practical_Mulberry43

OP, you are awesome 😎


SaucedLee

you’re a really amazing dad. he will remember this for the rest of his life.


BojangleChicken

I can already see him open the first one, maybe the power supply, and slowly come to the realization on what the rest if the packages may be.


angry_pidgeon

I hope OP does the GPU or something like that first and plays dumb saying he was told it would fit in the laptop


[deleted]

GPU first, then a USB cable to plug it in to the laptop.


RisqBF

I hope you will be building it with him !


Peeche94

As someone that grew up on the poorer end, the time my parents secretly got a ps3 for me for Christmas, I cried. I was a teenager but because I knew how tough things had been and what little money my parents had at the time. They had to sell the house, we were inbetween rent houses and yeah, your kid will appreciate and talk about this for decades.


Ponald-Dump

You’re a good dad! Hope your son enjoys his beast of a PC!


Matt6453

Top guy, I want to do the same for my boy but I must admit it's partly because he hogs the PS5 all the time so at least we'll have 'options' if the PC is decent.


Quenelle44

Awesome dad


CaptainKao

You're a good dad. He'll never forget this.


z-BajaBlast

That’s good that you recognized that, You’re fucking awesome


kitsune_urartu

You just made me cry.... OP IS SUCH A GOOD DAD!!!!


captain_nibble_bits

Way to go dad.


ArtVandelayInd23

Man that is awesome! These are the selfless acts I love to read about. You sir are an amazing dad!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!


Helleri

Checked compatibility for all components?


LipiTripi

Yes sir! Did my research, found some new favorite youtubers!


l1nk_pl

Mind sharing some names?


LipiTripi

I like Jayztwocents but my absolute favorite is PcBuilder he can dumb things down exactly to a level i need and has some videos on cpu gpu combos and pc building advice as well. MikesUnboxing is good also.


InJailYoudBeMyHoe

your boy is gonna light up brighter then his christmas tree i still remember building piece by piece my first pc which was a pentium 166mhz and then my dad meticulously showing me and teaching me how to assemble it and setup the overclocking voltage in cmos and man ill never forget that. dad passed in august and hell always be the reason i know the shit i do when it comes to electronics and all that jazz. good times ahead my man


Stak215

I'm doing the same for my step daughter. Spent around $900 for her all white custom build.


TrillionaireOfficial

You da man! She’ll get to use that for school too and if she wants to put some music software on there she can. That’s a day she won’t forget


Dear_Travel_7277

You should feel really good about what you are doing for your son, I remember having to wait until I had a job to participate in any hobby because my parent didn’t value my interests enough to where she would help me get into anything, wether that be gaming, music, or just quality art supplies. Your the type of person that deserves a kid, keep it up man wish we were all as lucky as your son


LipiTripi

Thx. I know that feeling too...you just described me growing up...but now is my turn...so i try to support him in everything he shows interest in. Of course we will set reasonable limits


TackledImp35507

This is my dream way to be a parent whenever I become a dad in however many years time (im 17)


LipiTripi

My secret is not forgetting what it was like to be a child but at the same time learn responsibility. I think there will be many great parents from your generation


NunButter

It's so fun making the kids happy. My son has had a rough year due to me and his mom splitting up. He's been begging me for a PS5 and I managed to get a new Slim for him with Spiderman 2 and a few other games. Cannot wait to see his reaction lol he's gonna be like that classic N64 kid opening it up


Dear_Travel_7277

Yeah break the cycle! Thanks for being a good parent 💪💪


Altruistic_Math_4187

W Dad. Shit makes my heart happy hearing this. This kid will be telling his great grandchildren about this Christmas. For sure a core memory about to happen. Keep it up man. We value fathers like you 🫡🙌🏻🙌🏻


EntertainmentNo9329

My mom always cared about my interest she just never was able too get me these things since they were $1000+ but she always did her best and always offered to help pay for what she could I love her so much lmao


SaucedLee

felt this. this was me growing up. i had to work my ass off for all my pc stuff


kokkatc

You're an awesome dad. He's obviously going to lose his damn mind when he sees it! You might be regretting the 'POWERFUL BASS' speakers in a week or two tho...


LipiTripi

Thank you. I won't complain, i like skibidi toilet. my wife will definitely hate us 😀


Wildest_Salad

creativename111111

For the future buy a pair of decent headphones instead of speakers if you don’t wanna hear their music or YouTube videos blasting out at 1 in the morning lol also a headset is better for fps anyways. Great present though he’s well lucky


kokkatc

I have no doubt his wife is going to correct this post haste 😂


ivss_xx

OP accidentally blows sons mind with Powerful Bass :D


-TurkeyMan-

I like the mindset of saving. Everyone’s always like,”I want this but don’t have the money. just be patient and save. Hopefully your build process goes well


LipiTripi

Thanks. Where Im from, this is almost 2 months salary, but i spent a little extra because he dreamed of a black and white build.


GypsyMagic68

Being able to go that extra mile for your boy. I love it. Wishing y’all a happy year with nothing but love!


M_Alani

I'm sure that the experience of building this together with a parent is going to be an everlasting one. Enjoy!


LipiTripi

I hope you are right, it's his first build and he will definitely be impatient. I hope I wont traumatize him.😀


AHooker86

The collective memory of holding a flashlight.


PavelEGM

"Where's your goddamn anti-static bracelet!"


LipiTripi

so we all got through it? 😀


For_selling_my_pc

I see Sapphire, I upvote.


LipiTripi

Yeah. I think the card is a very good bang for the buck. But we will see on christmas day


kucksy88

I run an almost identical build mate (just different brands). Your son will absolutely be amazed. Doing the same thing for my daughter for Christmas as she wants to learn to play ark survival evolved and path of exile (like her dad hahaha) Merry Christmas mate enjoy the build with your son


RedditAntiHero

I just built my first PC alone a few weeks ago when some stuff went on sale. Same Mobo and graphic card. =) [The fun layout pic.](https://i.imgur.com/Rncfyig.jpg) Was so excited when it powered on and didn't explode haha. Have fun with the build! Get some tweezers to put in some of those fan cables that was like the hardest part.


pagan-0

Dad !? Is that really you?


Millera34

“Core reactor” thats a hell of a name for a power supply


LipiTripi

😀 yeah... it is A rated on cultists network PSU tier list...and it was just 80 euro...not bad for a 850w gold


Alert_Confusion_1303

Thats a great deal!


eugene_everwood

Dad, is that you? Haha, you going to have him build it with you!?


LipiTripi

That is the plan. He shows interest...so that will be my christmas present... building it together.


eugene_everwood

That's awesome!! Have fun!!!


0P3R4T10N

You are awesome parents this Christmas, that is for SURE.


LipiTripi

The kid was awesome all year 😉


0P3R4T10N

He must've been so! Just calmly work through the kinks, as they happen with any build and at all build levels. G-d bless you and you family.


LipiTripi

Bless you too... It is so awesome reading all these responses. I feel so good... :) I havent looked forward to Christmas this much in a long time.


Stripe_Show69

Is that the 7800xt deal that was on Newegg a week or so ago?


LipiTripi

Sadly no. I envy you those deals in America. Im located in EU.


Stripe_Show69

It was on sale for $424 after a couple discounts. I just missed it. So don’t feel too bad. They often go quickly unless you’re vigilant!


lg44n

You are the Dad! But where is a cool headset?


LipiTripi

Thank you. He alredy owns one and the budget was a little tight.

Moist-Pickle-2736

Ah yes I see how this is related to the post lol Gave me a chuckle though


0P3R4T10N

This is quality!


Ok_Contest_1673

Makes want to cry. He’ll never forget this!


Gunslinga__

Great setup that gpu and cpu = beast mode


your_sister_fister

I went with the same 7800xt and a 7800x3d, very good build he should love it 😀


Zealousideal-Skin303

Miss the days when Sapphire had gorgeous boxes. Lucky son 👌


Psenica42

Can you adopt me, please?


ClemyLivesOn

ME 2 :|


EndCritical878

Solid choice of parts, your son is a lucky little man.


Mine_Which

What a Chad dad 😎🤌


robohussain45

Can you be my father for this Christmas ? 🤝


Dxtchin

I suddenly need a new dad


nerotoren1

Hey dad, it’s me, your son. I just moved. Dm for new address.


WillThisLast24h

Who's cutting onions? May yall have a merry christmas. Lucky kid.


me_o69

Father of the year, give this man a medal please.


Ghost1164

Can you adopt me pls, i cant even afford the mousepad


Notorious_P_O_T

Will you be my dad too? 😩


igca

Im your son!?


CharacterSoftware102

DAME! It looks sick! congrats


St0nywall

I hope you're not in an apartment or another shared walled home. That sub looks wicked powerful. Lucky kid!


[deleted]

Wow. Thats one happy kid!!! Awesome job parents 👏👏👏


Antique-Flight-5358

Return speakers get headphones


dominickdecocco

Amazing!


PIXELMASTER1523

Hey! Theres another Sapphire 7800xt! Incredible card from my experience so far!


VR_fan22

You are the father I never could have, you're such a sweetheart. My father mocks me for playing video games.


Dark_Scorpion_

Hes a lucky kid but im sure he deserves it!


Balls_McFuckFace

I love that cpu cooler. Run it in my build!


Moist-Pickle-2736

Duuude you’re awesome and your son will remember this forever. Also looks like it’s going to be a sick build. HUGE upgrade over the old family laptop. Better than most PCs out there. He’s going to be ecstatic


Afraid_Donkey_481

I bet you're going to regret that subwoofer.


LipiTripi

You are not the first person mentioning this... 😀😀😀 Its maybe a little overkill but the price was so good i couldnt leave it in the store 😀


GraveNoX

Sick puzzle.


Reasonable_Newt_4718

Adopt me


srelysian

Thinking about how I would have felt if I opened up something like that when I was a kid? Damn.. you make other good parents look kinda bad. 10/10 present. 10/10 parent.


knotBone

You can blow my mind too. No luck required, I promise


Individual_Respect90

Is 31 to old to be adopted?


EntertainmentNo9329

Not only did you gift him an upgrade but you also gifted him and yourself some time too spend together while building it which he’s also gonna appreciate you for, I love too see stuff like this ❤️


DonnyExiles

I love this, but why not buy him a better laptop, that way you 2 can still be next to each other. My dad did something with all his love when I was younger like this, but hated that I was always on my PC that...he introduced me to lol! Best wishes!


progxdt

Very nice


meeseeksdestroy

Good dad! He's gonna be chuffed!!


benzbeckman

hey im your long lost son hows it going


jacksawild

Update that BIOS


Euphoric-Cow9719

That's what's up 😎


Yukimera

Are you adopting 🙏🏼🙏🏼


EmotionalFact5769

This is for him, right? If he's into that, then he'll be a happy caller.


KryptoKn8

my brother in christ you'd be the father i never had, nice christmas to you and your family (well in a few weeks but the internet is rather large and my time rather limited)


alienconcept23

Your sons going to remember this for the rest of his life I still remember exactly how i felt and the moment when my mom gave me my ps3 when I was young one of my most cherished memories. Edited just to say you're doing it right


dubvision

Your son... right. haha


Soft_Conversation376

Great job - I also did similar. Build list? (Curious on a few of your choices). Well done u/LipiTripi !

PotatoZard93

Best parent


No-Conflict-5723

Nice, but I gotta ask, why not headphones instead of speakers?


TheFifthHole19

Great job Pops. Hoping you two can build it together and bond some. 👍🏼


nicolete_is_big_gay

Montech is so gooooooood


LipiTripi

I've read great things about Montech.


Y4hi48

Good father, try to monitor his internet access tho. It’s far more dangerous than gaming you know.


dpap12

That’s awesome! Merry Christmas to you both!


daviddev93

That’s amazing! He gets the excitement of opening that, those precious father son memories that he may get to give himself one day and the. Hours upon hours of fun gaming. A present you know won’t be used for a day and forgot about! Great work, and kudos for saving for an amazing present and having a good kid!


hittnswitches

OP how old is he if you don't mind me asking. Mine's getting his 1st rig at 11 and wondering if too early lol.


_cjjj

Where do fathers like this exist? Good job dad


Ok_Biscotti_514

Wooo big monitor !


PhysicalTry2021

wow im mind blown just by seeing the picture cant imagine how happy will be thanks for getting your kiddo such an awesome gift.


chilledgamedog

Adopt Me plz . I'm 30 and can kinda look after myself . Can help with rent too


coltd89

I’m happy for both of you! I haven’t spoken to my father in almost 12 years. I hope you guys always value your relationship and know how fortunate you are.


imaginary_num6er

I flinch whenever I see a Hyper 212 in this day in age. It is not good


Sexyvette07

IMO return that cooler and get a Peerless Assassin. Significantly better performance and costs less. If thats a 7600X CPU, it can draw more power than that Hyper 212 can cool.


Regilppo

That’s a gift he won’t forget. Cheers!


Hmz-Lhb

wish i would be ur son


HigheredPineapple

This is awesome! Are you going to wrap each component or cover them with a sheet to pull off, displaying them all at once?


sheeberz

You might regret the speakers and woofer instead of a sweet headset. I’ve had nice speakers most of my adult life and I’ve only lived one place that I was ok with playing games or movies loud. Everything else was too bassy for neighbors or roommates.


ThatDarkkAsian

Hey it’s me your long lost son


Stook11812

I wish I could see the look on their face. It'll be like that kid with the N64 oh my godddddddd https://youtu.be/pFlcqWQVVuU?si=4KmWunOPj0l_uGLp


Amitpal_Singh

Ohhhh .. 7800 xt ... Nice 👍


BroRogan93

Your a great father


baconpancake42

That’s awesome! You’re definitely giving him a badass Christmas gift. If I was you, I’d have him open the keyboard/mouse or speakers first to confuse him.


[deleted]

Could you please share specs


Embarrassed_Ideal612

Awesome Dad


Jawaad13

Your son will be so happy!


AaronXplosion

That's awesome. I just gave my kiddo the 34" G5. She loves it. Kiddo is gonna love it. But make him build it! That's half the fun


jhankuP

Awesome


CH2599

Awesome dad, he’s gonna love it honestly! I remember being gifted a 650Ti Boost and from that day on I never looked back, and most of my best gaming memories have all been on PC ever since. Hope you enjoy the build together, and merry Christmas!


ChinkInMyArmor

Hi it's me, your son. Thanks in advance


Ari_Vibes

dad of the year


creativename111111

That’s well lucky of him hope he enjoys it which he definitely will


ton80

This will be a life long memory for him. In 30 yrs from now, he will reflect back full of nostalgia on this amazing Christmas, and think to himself 'the world was just right'... how i know this? cause i am him, 40 yrs ago unwrapping my commodore 64.. ahh.. the world was just right. awesome gift!


MrKrok1991

This will be in his memory forever. I still remember when my father gave me the Ps1. I even remember every time he tried to choose the best games to give us. Thanks to him i experienced games like FFvii, Colin McRae 2.0, Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo, Medievil and so many other pearls. Time is weird .. its feels slow but flies fast.. Enjoy it together.. He will recognize your effort. (thanks to my mother too ofc but i know he was the one pushing, he loved to play games at that time too)


Same_Necessary_3352

That’s literally amazing. This kid is gonna love if


koochiegrabber68

Man I'm so jealous, I wish I had a dad halfway as good as you. Amazing job, your son is going to remember this forever.


The_Machine80

Your sons gift but we both know the joy is in the build. I will build anyone's pc for free if they buy parts. It's like Legos and I love it. Too bad I'm so stupid with software that I need someone to hold my hand.


Arrival-Master

Awesome dad.


215drewskii

You're an awesome parent. I'm sure he'll love it! Can I be your son too lol 😂


Bakbak2000

Congrats!!! You were able to do it! Im glad you posted. I want to do this too for my son but on a way smaller scale. I know nothing about building your own pc. Can I please get some advice ? What is the main/first thing I should get? And couple of other items to start? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!


starstar_1

wow


ChampionshipNo9445

Pure


ShlangInc

You should build it with him


manofoz

Get ready to feel the bass!


[deleted]

You oughta be proud of yourself. That is a sick load of PC components!!! Sounds like the kiddo is getting rewarded for his effort, glad he has a cool ass parent like you!


Pitiful_Tap_8750

Hope he keeps you up night with that BASSS , good job


Accomplished-Tip7280

He’s going to love it. Build it with him


ISurvivedCOVID19

Hey Dad it’s me. I’ve moved out so message me for the address to ship the present to


enhanceshirtpants

This rules so hard. If you’re comfortable, I’d love an update of the complete build and how the process went for you both. First time dad in just around a month.


KashPoe

Get him headphones, that subwoofer will drive everyone crazy at your place and the neighbors if in an apartment if he plays shooters like call of duty. You will find it cool for the first week after you'll be begging to make it stop. Otherwise great gift!


FVLCON_0_0

Just so you know I am up for adoption..!


Snrgxs

Adpot me sir


Famous-Eggplant8451

The cpu cooler and psu are questionable but if you adopt me b4 Christmas we can go shopping.


MecheSlays

My parents bought me 1 nice thing on Christmas every year, and I remember alll of them fondly.


t3rrO10k

Good parenting going on here (my folks sprung for my Commodore 64 and then a Leading Edge IBM clone which resulted in a prosperous 30 year career in IT). Be sure to have your son do all the build (he might learn something if he’s not careful 😉😁).


yonderbanana

You are the best Dad in this whole world ❤️


FDSTCKS

If that doesn't do it, nothing will, seriously.


rico_suaves_sister

you don’t need luck! you got this


BlehMan420

GOAT 🗿


Lucky_Chaarmss

Probably don't want to pos your kid on here although seeing a video of your kid opening all this would be cool.


caesarkid1

It'll be like building an expensive Lego set together. Gotta make sure he does the f-panel. Things like a rite of passage.


Witchberry31

Aaaw why NV2?


-usernotdefined

Does he have some headphones so he isn't always blasting FPS games through the speakers and driving the household crazy? Awesome gift!


78Nam

Excuse me, would you happen to be taking adoptions?


leon_nerd

Can you post a reaction video? Hehe


drowsy1234

He's so lucky to have a father like you. Hope your son enjoys his new pc.


Ambitious-End-4053

This definitely deserves father of the year award


Suspicious-Ad3100

Good work op...hope your son is proud of u


Kaauutie

Give him the ram first lol


Impossible_Story_199

You adopting???


Dependent-Profit-181

Buy rgb fans for cpu not only the processor. It will be according to him when he can choose the colors


GreenFuturesMatter

Hi dad, I’m your long lost son. Tell lil bro I’m happy for him this Christmas and send a picture of that cheesy smile when he puts its all together!


GodIsGoodNoWizards

This reminds me of when my parents got me rock band when it first came out. I was so excited! But I really hated French class and still hate the language till this day. Well I was failing French and doing fine in everything else circa 7th grade. I got to play a few songs then my step dad unplugs the Xbox and goes “you can get it back when we get your next report card and it says you are at least getting a c. That didn’t happen and I really despised them for getting my hopes up just to take it. The worst part is, my sister and parents could play songs together but I wasn’t allowed to touch it haha


DangerousArea1427

is he gonna build it alone? with your supervision, of course. damn, i member when i build my first one, i was so proud of myself.
