    Hello AG_GamingYT, 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!

    *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

  2. When I was your age I was cooling my athlon xp 2400+ mobile chip with dry ice

    But I’m special, so don’t feel bad

    Nice little build. That psu is overpowered for the gpu but you got the power for an upgrade eventually

    Thats sweet! Perfect first build, i did my first one at 14 too and have been building new ones every 3 years since. So much fun and great to learn how to do it yourself! Good work

    Wayyyy better ( for the time) than my first build at 15. I know you have already obsessively researched everything. Do your bes, expect issues, learn from them. Welcome to the master race 🙂

    You rock that 3060Ti!!! You are going to have so much fun with it. I have an Asus (same 2 fan design) and gaming at 1440p has been such a pleasure. You’re about to have a whole world of fun.

    When I was your age,I built my first PC out of scrap parts

    Nice build! Why’d you feel the need to make sure we know what your age is?

    When I was 14 I had a old school computer that the fan in the cpu heat sink broke on, so I had a room fan laying on top of the open side panel blowing a ton of cold air directly onto the heat sink, worked remarkably well lol.

    Similar to my first build (16) and that’s a pretty nice build.

    My first build was a 486 DX2/66 that I saved for a summer to put together when I was 14. It had a genuine Creative Labs Sound Blaster and an 8x CD-ROM. It was *awesome*. It got me into a career of IT, eventually starting my own freelance company and doing work that improves healthcare for millions of people every day.

    I wish you the same good times and good fortune with your first build.
