Some of you might remember a post I made a while back of my daughter and I building my PC together.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/8YhHz5454H
Well, we decided that it was finally time for her to have her own PC. I instructed her on what to do and jumped in whenever she asked for help, but aside from that I just handled some of the wiring, and the software installs.
I want to give a big thanks to @Bing515 for sending me the GTX 1660ti for this build, it was very much appreciated.
And we got all of this together for her in time for the Minecraft 15th anniversary sale as well, so she is a very happy girl.

congratz young lady & good job dad … it’s a great hobby
love to see it
Love the cooler, great build
Love the peerless assassin, thats what I went with too. Its a monster for an air cooler. Also, this is A+ parenting!
That second picture: Now that’s a proud dad! Also, I don’t know if she asked you to, but cool of you to block her face. Kids don’t need their pictures all over the internet until they are old enough to decide that for themselves.
thats really cool of you to help her with that. i wish my father could have some of you passion too
What are the specs? Also she did a great job love the color!
Congrats – that’s awesome – I’m sure you both are stoked !
So cool! The last photo cracked me up. It’s the best part of it all! 😂
Whats that map of? Totally feels familiar. Anyways, good job with the build, always love building them, but hate doing the software.
good, sensible low key build. did it POST first time?
Can I pretend I’m your daughter and get a new pc daddy
Awesome. I just built my daughter hers but maybe I should have been more inclusive lol. She enjoys it so I’m happy.
I love this! Good on you for letting her do a lot of the work on her own. This is an experience that she will take with her for life.
I see so many kids that just mindlessly play on an iPad or smartphone. I think the experiences we have and what we learn through those experiences, shape us into the people we become as adults.
So again, thank you for being a great parent and helping our youth become better people.
Where did you get that awesome map?
Love the BOTW map on the wall <3
I’m jealous!! Congratulations on the new pc!!
Really love to see this type of stuff. I’m excited to build my son his first PC alongside him. Almost got all the parts together. Good job Dad and congrats to the little lady!
Outstanding.
With help of dad, who did 99% of the work
I use the pop mini air as well, it’s a lovely case
Glorious mouse, nice.
Hope the kid plays tonne of amazing games and have fun, op do you have a pc as well? If yes then will you guys be playing co op games together, that would be so rad lol
there are some problems here
1. you don’t have a camera
2. you left some stupid watermark in the photo
3. that’s not a full layout keyboard
4. that’s not windows 7
5. you’re using wifi
Nothing more rewarding than having a pc you built turn on for the first time
Nice work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
that build looks rlly good! also love the botw map in the bg, where did you get it?
Mini case for mini people
Sick!
You’re an awesome person. Thanks for bringing another homie to the pcmr fam!
To play Stardew Valley on ?
