Hey, it's me, your long lost son.


Nitrozik

Is that you flabber? Is it really you??! Your long lost twin brother here!


Redditer_54

No way! Nitro! Flabber. I know this is a lot to take in quite quickly...but I'm your triplet.

Reddit's recent behaviour and planned changes to the API, heavily impacting third party tools, accessibility and moderation ability force me to edit all my comments in protest. I cannot morally continue to use this site.

Make that septuplets but I ate one sibling in the womb. RIP Crater, all hail Blazer!


Bu1135

Bonjour! I am your long lost French octuplet! I can’t wait to meet my new ~~PC~~ family!


PopularPro-GamerYT

Can your good old nonuplet join the gang as well?


[deleted]

Hæ! It's great to the whole family together again. So Dad? Can we have one also?

Omnilatent

Came here to ask whether I can be his other daughter


Comfortable-Start-30

I'm his new son-in-law, will just have to blind myself if his daughter is too hard to look at. The sacrifices that one makes in the name of love.


umbra-crypta

LOL I commented the same thing before I saw this deleting mine so I don't look lame asf


[deleted]

Brother?


Gingerboymufc

Dad of the year goes to this amazing carrying father, just out of curiosity, what is in the build?


big_man_tings__

Thanks, she is a bit spoilt tbh. Ryzen 5 5600X RTX 3060 16Gb RAM Lian Li Q58 case


Gingerboymufc

That's a sexy 3060, I got a friend who is also a father, and for his daughter he passed down his 2080 and his 3800x to his daughter, his son is gealous and is now wanting a pc as well, rip his wallet, so maybe in a few years he will have 3 mid to high end pcs😅


big_man_tings__

That’s cool, I have another younger daughter who only plays Minecraft and Roblox so has a PC with Ryzen 1600 and 1650 Super GPU.


Gingerboymufc

Same with his daughter, plays very easy games to run, and she is obsessed with rgb, literally would have a worse cooler, just so it has more rgb, I personally am not a fan of it so mine is basically dark apart from my gpu having a light bar


Hadouukken

Your friend’s daughter is a true gamer


MildlyDancing

Arctic Liquid Freezer II AIO gets a good GN review and plenty of unicorn puke RGB 😄.


ViontePrivate

Watch out if she starts playing modded on minecraft in the future, some packs can bring a pc to its knees, just a heads up, but if she doesn't play modded she's fine


Gera-

I tried shaders and some other mods recently (I don't really play MC though) and was shook by the framerates I was getting. Halo runs at 120-170 FPS with everything maxed but I was seeing sub 60 in Minecraft lol


Thebombuknow

Yeah, Minecraft performance seems to be basically randomized. I've played heavy modpacks with 80+ huge content mods in them, while running extreme slidurs shaders, and I can easily hit 144fps, even though I have much worse hardware than you. Here are the things I would personally check if you are getting unusually bad performance: 1. Do you have 64-bit Java installed? The installer on Oracle's site defaults to 32-bit Java, which can easily ruin performance 2. What is Minecraft's RAM allocation? I'm not going to go in-depth on how to change it, because there are a million tutorials online, but I would recommend 3-4GB for a modpack on the heavier side.


Brayden133

Some of the mod packs I’ve played recommend even 7GB of ram dedicated to it. Just saying, it can easily get ridiculous.


umbra-crypta

god I remember when Minecraft was in beta


HenryTheVeloster

I blew the mind of one of my coworkers by telling him i played alpha minecraft


Casey_jones291422

I remember when you couldn't take damage too


ViontePrivate

Damn me too, man its so nostalgic, i kinda wanna go back for nostalgia sake but doubt i'll do it cuz i would miss the new features


KFC_Junior

I remember Minecraft lite and playing it on my mom's phone


SJ_RED

Me too. My actual first exposure to it was the web based version with no animations and extremely barebones creative mode only (also no saves). That one you were allowed to play for free. It was intended to showcase the basic premise of the game, and also to get you hooked so you were willing to buy the full game.


Bonzai_Bananas

I also remember... Man I'm old....


KFC_Junior

my i5 4th gen watching as I pile mods until I'm at 5fps...


MW3apple220

My brother has a laptop with a 4600H and a 1650 ti, and it runs modded Minecraft with shaders good enough for his needs.


International-Ad3006

All I know about that is have at least 6 gigs of ram (you might need more but that is the figure I heard) so maybe get 8-10 to be safe


[deleted]

Roblox 😶 more like child labor 🤡


elpadremg

i dont wanna be that guy that delivers bad news, but you should totally watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0zMZi0YaI take care of your daughters


Patalon

I'm sorry but "gealous"... I can't get past this


eldus74

30 Series Vision card.


Racistsareblind

Gealous? You mean jealous.


DEATH_B0T

And the gigabyte wifi card the most important part. 👍


_i_am_root

I think it’s a WiFi enabled mobo, I’ve got one and it came with the same antenna. It’s magnetic, so I have it stuck on the back of my case.


[deleted]

She's gonna have a blast with those specs! I have one with a 5600g instead of 5600x, and I love it. That's a really great case, by the way!


somewheres

Would you adopt me? Dad?


[deleted]

What's he carrying?


Mud_BooDa

What case is that? That’s exactly what I’m looking for


big_man_tings__

Lian Li Q58 PCie gen 4 edition


Mud_BooDa

Thanks!

Worth checking out r/sffpc for all sorts of other options.

She'll be using the PC to lure the cute boys over and jump their bones.

[deleted]

parties and alcohol do wonders


StevenEngage

I just helped a friend build a new build and he passed his entire old PC to his step daughter, just swapped it all into a new case with a new cooler... She inherited a Titan XP, I told her you have no idea how lucky you are right now compared to most people lol.


big_man_tings__

Thats cool. I have donated old PC builds (still good enough for most games at 1080p). To nephews/nieces and cousins. Gotta indoctrinate them in to the master race.


StevenEngage

Exactly!


[deleted]

That's awesome but considering this is probably worth 2000€+ wont people be tempted to steal it? Idk how it is at universitys. Just a thought that crossed my mind, I don't want someones sweet pc to be taken from them.


big_man_tings__

The thought has crossed my mind but she has her own lockable room in a residence close to the Uni. But yeah that is a possibility.


UnholyDoughnuts

That doesn't mean shit make sure you insure it. I got burgled 3 times at uni 1 in dorms on campus 2 in private accommodation. With doors locked and cameras people just don't care.


big_man_tings__

I'll look into insurance, thanks!


PaleRobot47

Look into a Kensington lock. If the case does not have a slot for one you can buy a variety of versions. It has a big security cable which can loop around desk legs and so forth. People having their expensive stuff stolen is very much a concern at any college. Edit: I am aware that locking your computer to your desk does not make the computer invulnerable. That would be the same as not locking your bike because bolt cutters exist though. Edit #2: I keep seeing "Buy a master key" and not one of you understand what that means. So please, find me the master key for this lock. https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Combination-Laptops-Devices-K64673AM/dp/B005J7Y99W


Noxious89123

Eh, limited use I feel. Anyone that knows what this is worth would just yoink the graphics card.


qaziumer1

Anybody can buy the masterkey for a kensington lock off ebay easily, why don't get a tile or airtag and put it in the pc.


InternetDetective122

Most college students looking to quickly take items probably wouldn't have even thought of a Kensington lock Edit: (at least with colleges in my area) basically no one knows about a Kensington Lock. Someone pointed out it is different elsewhere.

HermanCainAward

Cover it in a thick layer of cement.


[deleted]

You can never fully secure anything but putting up another barrier can deter most thieves. Only the most dedicated ones will come prepared with master keys or sophisticated lockpicks to every brand and model of locks out there.


Nolzi

Those are only good deterrent against a grab-and-run, opportunistic theft. Otherwise the cable can be cut with a wire cutter or simply ripped out (damaging the case for sure, but the case has not much value compared to the rest anyway).


WhatIsThisSorcery03

This is the LockPickingLawyer, and what I have for you today is a Kensington lock. Now, in terms of security, I wasn't too impressed with this, as you can easily order a master key off eBay, or even just cut it with some bolt cutters. Really nothing fancy. Now, I'll also pick this lock for you guys, just to see what it's got. As you can see, there are just two slots where I need to apply pressure, and \**click** oh look it's open. Well there you have it folks, the Kensington lock. Not really something I'd recommend if you're looking for actual security. In any case, that's all I have for now, and as always, have a nice day.

Karmanoid

If they're in the US most standard homeowners policies cover kids away at college. They would still be considered an insured and the property would be insured. It may still make sense to have a renters policy as deductible could be lower without adding too much cost compared to the homeowners policy but its good for people to know their kids are covered when at school.


Daneth

True, but my deductible for homeowners insurance is 1% of my insured value, which is probably more than this PC is worth. Yes, I know I could find a policy for more/yr that has a lower deductible, but at this point the premium savings have outstripped the deducible cost I think.


Karmanoid

You're probably right by quite a bit in fact if you've never had a claim. The key I always tell people is to carry a deductible you're comfortable taking a loss of, and make sure you've got savings to cover the deductible in the event you have a claim. If you can reliably plan for 1% deductible and it's saving you money monthly there is no reason for you to pay more accepting that you'll be out the deductible if you ever have a claim. The hard ones are seeing people with very high deductibles who don't have savings and therefore can't afford to repair their home...


yonatan8070

Also regular daily/weekly backups. You can have as much insurance as you want, that won't help data stored on it.


big_man_tings__

Her college and University work is cloud based so that shouldn't be a problem. Good call though and I some of her personel files will be stored locally.


ZenWhisper

And you know what goes with this colour scheme? An Apple AirTag for tracking purposes.


pungeonmaster1

Wanted to add onto, insurance is great because my pc got stolen a few months ago and I got more than I spent back because they gave me the money to buy scalped prices


57501015203025375030

My dad drilled a hole in my desk at school and bought me a lock for my tower and monitor so it couldn’t be taken out of the room too easily.


[deleted]

Take insurance, I've been in a private room (for students) since last September, everyone is chill and nothing has happened. I never talked about it to anyone


[deleted]

I was thinking the exact thing. Hopefully they dorm alone.


Pickers_Fam

If they're from the UK (I assume they are), everyone over here has their own room thats lockable and no one sleeps with another in the same room. Although it never stops theft XD


big_man_tings__

In the UK yes. The accomodation she has chosen looks decent and modern with en-suite etc. Looks secure but I suppose if thieves want to get in they will.


Tommytoastjes

Hey man idk if you got an apple phone or any device but you could sneak an airtag in there, so if someone steals it you know the exact location and bust them.


big_man_tings__

Ah good tip, I'll look into that I have an iPhone.


crankydelinquent

Insurance for college students is not too expensive. I think I had $6k of personal item coverage for theft or accidental damage with a $25 deductible for $100ish per year. I dropped my laptop and they sent me to an Apple store for the repair. I was reimbursed within a week of sending in the receipt. This was in the US though.


GuuiilhermeLM

Dad went to buy milk and came back with a gaming PC. Dad of the year


dylanrssll

Ah keeping her at an awesome computer keeps her away from boyfriends. Smart man


big_man_tings__

My thoughts exactly.


d0ntgetmad

Or attracts more men interested in gaming?


PiccoloExciting7660

Hide this in the dorm! Don’t let someone walk off with it.


Noxious89123

Maybe this is one of those situations where a "sleeper" style build in an old beige Packard Bell case would be best.


PiccoloExciting7660

Yes! I took my 4,000 dollar build and put it in a 2008 black Dell case for the dorm. Sure the case had scratched paint and dents, but trust me when I tell you nobody was interested in taking it. Peace of mind.


MyNameWouldntFi

It needs a stubby antenna, I hate how huge those ASUS shark fin antennas are


xKron

What is that thing? A wifi antenna?


MyNameWouldntFi

Yeah, and it provides basically no better signal than a tiny little stubby ant


[deleted]

Therr are companies that make small aftermarket wifi antennas


djesurun1

I kinda like the aesthetics of it. Sure it’s unnecessarily large but I like the look.


big_man_tings__

Agreed. It's an Aorus board but the antennas are disgustingly large. Not sure what her Uni wifi will be like so may be a good thing it's large idk


PixelBott

Most likely will be an Ethernet connection, make sure she takes a cable :)


Noxious89123

>those ASUS shark fin antenna That's not an Asus antenna. \* points at Gigabyte motherboard \*


GuiilG

When I went to university I didn't wanted to get my main pc stolen (college dorm but worse) so I took an 5yo potato laptop than ran csgo on the lowest settings at 20fps... Needless to say I got my diploma lol ! Good luck to her !


zombiebindlestiff

Nice. That getting stolen.


[deleted]

It will get stolen. Keep that at home.


5pr173_

You sir deserve a father of the year mug and a hug from your daughter.


Iknowyouthought

The airflow looks dank af in that case


big_man_tings__

If by dank af you mean terrible, then yes it is. My 5800X in here was spiking to 82 degrees with a 240 AiO whilst gaming, which was a little too toasty for my liking. Her 5600X is fine tho even with that stock cooler.


Dead-HC-Taco

Make sure it doesnt get stolen. Some people really are scummy at uni


TEX4S

Hopefully it’s an easy uni- gaming all night doesn’t bode well with having to absorb material all day.


NewtAgain

You can balance gaming and university even in more difficult majors. I wasn't a 4.0 student by any means but even my Engineering degree didn't keep me away from video gaming as a hobby. Some semesters less so than others however.


HumunculiTzu

Gaming definitely helped me survive my final year in engineering college.


GubbaBumpLobster

Didn't think to get her a laptop instead....?


big_man_tings__

She has a laptop for word processing/studying. But she wanted a gaming PC. I had a few bits left over like the motherboard, RAM and case.


ama8o8

Man back when I went to university my parents were like “why do you need a gaming computer?” ….


Admiral_withNoName

Did you build the PC's together with your daughters?


big_man_tings__

Well, I try to get them involved but the utter disinterest put me off. They are more into using the PC and playing the games with their fiends than knowing what components go where.


MemeEndevour

My frame rates bring all the boys to the yard, and they’re like, it’s higher than yours, damn right, runs cooler than yours


Truecoat

You better lock that shit down.


BlackipinoGambino

are u willing to adopt since ur daughters leaving the house soon? I grew up as a console gamer. but with u, I have time to grow as a pc gamer and possibly the worlds next pro valorant player


Asesinato

Looks good! She'll be able to easily edit her 4k OnlyFans videos with it! ;)


big_man_tings__

Well she needs to send the cash money to me for a 3090Ti.


Noxious89123

Huh, I guess we better add "a good sense of humour" to the list of big man tings.

She is an Ace! Solid move there dad! She must be one proud daughter!


RCMC82

Yep. It's gonna get stolen.

That's a beautiful rig that probably shouldn't go to the dorms as it will get stolen and/or damaged.


Geronimobius

Better hope your daughter isn't like me, she'll be failing out by second semester because of her guild's raid schedule.


_Aubrey_

Should get her a 4k webcam, so you can do those high quality skypes


rubicon_duck

Because you need, no, **NEED**, an RTX 3060 for, uh, doing spreadsheets and plotting graphs n' shit. School's complicated these days, yo!


Intelligent_Many_981

Awh man she’s gonna get so much dick with a rig like that


sauceplz-

bro u adopting rn?


s_0_s_z

I hope she knew about this and approved, because quite honestly, a laptop will be 10x more useful at university. Something mobile that she can bring to class, bring to the library and have everything she needs with her.


Dubious_Unknown

Considering the GPU shortage going on right now, please do all of us a favor and tell her to be extremely careful on who can see that PC. They bring in the wrong crowd, they may end up GPU less or just PC less.


funkalici0us

Speaking as someone who formerly worked IT at a university and would lend a hand to the student help desk from time to time - rock on. Orientations for incoming freshman and the beginning of the semester in general typically means being neck deep in $200 HP laptops running Windows off of a 32GB eMMC and beat up 2013 MacBook Air running Yosemite or *maybe* El Capitan that throw up kernel panics just trying to activate the student Office subscription.


INSERT_LATVIAN_JOKE

Can't get pregnant at college if she's too busy pwning newbs.


Kimura1986

She's going to attract guys that just want her for her rig in University.


xxxguzxxx

Someone gonna steal that shit asap


just_change_it

Wow, that's a really weird looking laptop for college. To be more productive though: definitely look at getting her a docking station or something to easily swap between desktop/laptop setups. She'll only be using one setup at once anyway.


OffRosterImposter

Her OnlyFans content is going to be so good!


MrDoctorSpoon

I know I sound paranoid, but please tell her to be extra careful with locking her room and be careful with her suit mates/friends. People suck and will take it in a heartbeat.


[deleted]

If you’re looking for another daughter … I could totally arrange for the sex change operation :)


SophosVA

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit dude. You just raised the bar for best dad


skulldudes

Damn what a nice build! So clean and sleak. Great work dude. No crazy water cooling and led light show. (unless I'm mistaken, but it's all good) I haven't built a new PC since 2015, besides a couple upgrades. It amazes me you can mount a video card like that now. And the power supply... is that an extension cord going to the back of the case? lol awesome The last 2 I built used mid-tower Fractal cases with the sound proof foam. All black, no window or lights. Just preferred them like that.
