1st pc-build; 14yo asks for help

c3dric69 · July 14, 2020

Hi there ,

My name is Cédric. I'm 14 years old. I'd love to build a new computer. At the moment I have an Acer Aspire VX15 (Gtx 1050+i5 7400hq). Mainly I play Minecraft 1440p and COD Warzone at 720p, but I'd love to start playing some more intensive games. So I'm planning to build this system: 10900K with a GTX1660Ti but i'm planning to upgrade the videocard to a RTX3080Ti when it launches. I'd love to start streaming so that's why I went with a 10900K because I only play games. I think I can build the system on my own, I'm just really scared and feel dumb. I feel like building a pc is easy but cable management and cooling is a bit more complicated than I want it to be. I'd love to go with a AIO because of the looks. I know it's better to go with a fan. :/ Are there any good video's that explain everything how to setup a AIO? I can't really find any good one's. Since this is the place to be for getting help. Here I am (:
I would go with the NZXT Kraken Z63 cooler.

Cédric (:

do you have a plan for the rest of the system? think that sounds pretty good, though i may be tempted to just build after 3000 series launches

As I said I'm 14; I have vacation for 2 months (1,5 month remaining) so there isn't really a reason to wait until it's school again. Now that I have the time to build it I'm building it. GPU swap isn't that hard. Waiting untill RTX3000 series launches and untill they are avaibablle in Belgium I will have to wait for like another 6-7 months from when they launch. Thank you for responding on my post. But do you know any good videos for the NZXT Kraken Z63. I really like the screen on it, first I was going with the Corsair H115i but since I'd love to use the H710i case from NZXT I went with a NZXT AIO.

I Find this video pretty useful in walking it through. In terms of the aio Mounting it is pretty easy and there are vids on youtube walking you through it. My advice would be to not worry and just take your time. I would also suggest watching this vid first then going and building it and then come back to it for anything your confused on.

Awww; Thank you so much. You're so sweet; hehe.. I will surely watch it. And yes, I will take my time. That's why I really want to build my pc now when I have vacation. I have time you know. Imagine building this on weekends and having a problem with my pc and me stressing because of school. Bitwit is a really nice dude; I love watching his videos. Man of culture, hahaha.
