So I picked out some specs and i was wondering if I should change anything
Spoiler
Not planning to get it for a while xD but yes RIP my walletRIP hisiglemic's wallet.
Yeah dude sucks you can't get a job for about another 4 years. But that money form your dad is tax free though. Just keep focused on the PC and don't cave. reward yourself every now and then but no big shopping trips. and if you work weekends for 8 hours or so or for a few hours after school, you should have enough money to get the PC. Also, don't try and build it yourself unless you truly think you can get it up and running when you get all of your parts. Take it to a PC shop where they can build it for you for a fee.hisiglemic wrote:I have a savings account with around 600 in it rn so that helps alot plus the 700 from the b-day and xmas combined so thats 1300 so removing sli really helps droping the price to 1700 or so meaning i would possibly be able to get it by xmas with the little bit of summer left Sadly Im still to young to get a job im only 12 my only option is to work with my dad at $5 an hour ;-;
Since IM using a water cooled pc I will not build it my self I dont want to messs up with that and end up with leakingDrewski wrote:Yeah dude sucks you can't get a job for about another 4 years.

Actually the watercoolers you select in PcPartPicker are known as "all-in-one" units. It's a prefilled loop, and is not meant to be disassembled. All you do is mount the CPU block on top of the CPU, then mount the radiator to your case.hisiglemic wrote:Since IM using a water cooled pc I will not build it my self I dont want to messs up with that and end up with leaking

Benefits of watercooling:
- Cooler Temperatures for the component being cooled.
- More effective at getting heat out of the case itself.
Cons:
- Chance of leaking.
- Pump whirring noise. Included fans are usually quite loud. Most watercoolers are actually louder than air coolers.
I would not recommend getting a watercooler that's any smaller than 240mm, though. 120/140mm watercoolers are quite expensive for the performance they give. A simple Hyper 212 or Cryorig M9i can match the performance of such watercoolers at half the price.

That computer you've picked out is quite pricy, especially considering your age! If you're able to save up a full $2k for a build like this, then props to you. I personally can't stand to wait that long. You could still get amazing gaming performance at a much lower budget. Some examples would be to drop from an i7 to an i5. Grab a single GTX 1070 instead of two. A single 1070 is plenty for 1080p gaming. You can then dial back your power supply since you only have one graphics card. Drop a 16GB kit of RAM. Oh yeah, also don't forget to add a SSD that's at least 240GBs. Fast storage = fast boots & responsive computer.
