    Hello Suspicious-Ad-5480, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    Why do you fill up all your RAM slots?

    Performance will be worse than with a 2x kit.

    Wish I took a picture of my build at 15 years old but I don’t think people built there own computers back then. 386, 64mb HDD, Diamond Monster 8mb graphics card or some combination like that.

    You are 15 with ocd cable management skills like this? Please let me know what you end of doing for a career in 20 years from now. I am genuinely curious as to what you become. Nice work kid.

    nice i built my first PC when i was 9.

  8. darkangel657

    Why do people keep adding their age..?

  9. ProLegendHunter

    I’m curious about the specs on your build if you’d kindly share it OP, looks really clean

  10. acclaimedsimpleton

    Man… Wish my mummy and daddy bought me pretty things like this when I was 15.

  11. Revolutionary-Pipe89

    Bro wtf i just went here to see and try to find a way to decide between a desktop/pc or a laptop and all i see is stuff that in my eyes peak to alien technology wth

  12. Xchadfur

    Maybe next time spend less on fans and more on newer CPU/GPU? Lol

  13. Small_Attitude4122

    it looks really cool!

    i’m 14 and i have built 2 PCs so far

    the first being my Debian server and the second my gaming pc

  14. KhaosKirito

    Ignoring all the comments about how ā€œmommy and daddy paid for itā€ that’s a really nice build! I know first hand the struggle of saving up to build a PC, let alone one as good as that so congrats! Hope you enjoy your new beast!!!

    I recently built my own (first) Custom PC at 18with 32GB ram, Intel i9-10900K, RTX 3060-12GB, and an MZXT AIO Cooler and saved up for it.

    It’s not a build if you didn’t use your own hand’s to physically build the computer. Gratz on buying a computer.

  16. AffectionatePanda599

    Exceptionally clean-looking. Imo, looks better without RGB. Very impressive!

  17. xXxLordViperScorpion

    I wanna know the specs of your allowance. Or birthday budget.

  18. Super_Preference_733

    That’s a nice case, where is the power supply?

  19. Screw all the weird haters in here. Looks clean af, good work

  20. 9gag_better

    For you being a 15 year old this looks really nice.

  21. Crazy how it looks EXACTLY like the NZXT prebuilts… you even got that weird NZXT logo on the CPU… so strange. Do you work for them?

  22. Windwalker111089

    Dam I didn’t even have the budget at 15yrs lol.

  23. BlakeBruhh

    The internet is such a sad place. As soon as I saw the age I knew what the comments would be like. Not sure why it is so unfathomable to some people that this is attainable at 15. You have 0 bills, nothing to pay for (gas, car insurance ec.) so you can basically save every dime if you want to and spend it on what you are passionate about. Especially if you said you sold your last build and got some money from that. Ignore the idiots on here who are probably twice your age and just jealous they can’t build it themselves. Keep it up bro

  24. PuzzleheadedIssue618

    gen question, where’s the PSU?

    usually there’s a opening towards the back, but i don’t see any, just wondering!

  25. It looks cool ofcourse but we need air filter considerations in cases now, because after a month or so you’ll see the dust build up everywhere and it would be hard to get every corner.

    By air filter I mean a space between the case and fans to put a real air filter not a magnetic metal sheet

  26. hapki_kb

    Very impressive build young man. Carry on!

  27. Shadow_Fox_104

    I’m 14 and I built a white rig recently too – people are gonna give you hate because they want the system and are jealous that a 15 year old has the financial maturity to save money for something, unlike them. Yours is probably better than mine haha, loving the STRIX stuff. I have a 3080ti and R9 5900X, what are your specs?

  28. mr_popo_420

    Neat..nice job kid, can’t wait to see 3-5 when you move onto custom water cooling šŸ¤™

  29. rabid_ferret420

    Not impressed. I was smoking Marlboro reds, drinking Wild Turkey, and tearing through the woods in a Dodge Aries K in robin egg blue at 15 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  30. Great-Palpitation-32

    Man that looks siickkk!!!!!šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

    If you keep on building PCs I would recommend looking into small form factor (SFF) cases. IMO it’s much more satisfying to squeeze the same performance into something 1/5th as big, and you’ll thank yourself if you go to college and need to bring you PC to and from home. Other recommendation I have is don’t worry too much about RGB, I use to love it when I was your age but I much prefer a super clean and compact PC (more like form from function)

    Here are some of my favorite builds:

    Looks good kid! Even if you didn’t work for it or save up or sell your old PC doesn’t matter and you did do all though things so good on you!

    Some people are bitter/angry and I can empathize with that cause it’s hard when you work your ass off don’t have well of parents or just have life give you lemons…though becoming a better person means overcoming that and being kind/understanding to others even people you deem not worthy or caught a break.

    Word of advice, next time don’t say your age…don’t let people have any ammo that they can use against you. Now save up for that awesome car!

    Crazy shit man. Don’t know why people are instantly assuming you used ā€œdaddiesā€ money to get it. Nice one bro, ignore the assholes šŸ™‚
