Little sister's rig

So I guess I never did a build log for this...

 

Around 2020 I gave my sister a build I did for fun just so she had a desktop computer... 

It was an i7 6700 with an OG GTX Titan when I built it, but I swapped the watercooled Titan for a 980 Ti since I knew she wouldn't maintain a custom loop. No pics of what I sent her off with, but here's what it looked like with the Titan. 

 

 

It was in a windowless black Fractal Define Nano S. A solid little system at the time, but it was never cute enough for her even after covering it with stickers. 

 

 

A while ago Cooler Master wanted us to review an SFX PSU. I said I'd do it if they sent along a Pink NR200 to review along with it... They had just discontinued the pink and so I was sent a white version instead. For anybody interested Here's the review of the PSU/Case.

 

After the review, I built her a bit of an upgrade.

i5 12500

GTX 1070

32GB Trident Z Royal

Crucial P3 Plus 2TB

Thermalright SI-100

CM NR200P wrapped with sparkle blue vinyl 

 

 

That has served her well the last couple years. She still doesn't game much but was interested in trying Hogwarts Legacy. Figured that might be a little too much for the ole 1070. As well as Nvidia starting to phase out support for Pascal. Figured it was time for a bit of an upgrade.

 

 

I just happened to be in Tampa for work last week, so I stopped by her new place and swapped in an RTX 3060 Ti.

Looks nice clean!

 

And thanks for the review!   As im doing the "Small but heavy" build for a freind, i decided to go the same way in future and was able to grab the same PSU but the 1300W version used for 1 year with waranty for my self for 130,- EUR which i think is more than a fair price

Thanks guys!

 

I'm just glad she uses it

 

One of her best friends becoming a twitch streamer definitely had a big influence on her showing any interest in PC games.
