Reminds me of my mom when she bought me my first computer and we built an intel P1 system together which led me down a career in IT. I will be the IT Director of a large international company next year all thanks to her. I miss her :(

Very nice, i'm 41 now but i still remember it like yesterday how my parents gifted me a Commodore Amiga 500 all the way back in the 90s when i was little, and we had a MSX1 computer before that, so it was a huge jump regarding graphics and sound.

it's always funny to see parents being happy about the gifts they totally didn't want themselves :D :D

So you made your kid a super gaming pc for Christmas with mostly spare parts you already had! Well played!😊

Your son sure is blessed to have you as his mom. 👍 He better be more nice to you.

Thank you for posting this excellent discussion of building a new system for your son. I believe the component choices are all excellent. I'm especially glad you installed the nicer processor and additional RAM. I think that will make possible some wonderful discoveries in the future. I also really like the willingness to create a special, unique system that will appeal -- it looks so visually great to me. I want to compliment the outstanding presentation of the system itself and the videography. You really know how to present to an audience and you really know how to make the set look good. I am very much looking forward to Part 2.

Lucky kid 😊It's not every day when you hear about mom's gaming PC being the best one in the house. And Merry Christmas to the Techtesters team!

I can't believe I've only just now found this channel. Excellent video quality, and I appreciate how you gave more pragmatic hardware recommendations when you were discussing the overkill components. Great stuff and I hope he enjoys his new rig!

This is a huge upgrade. I went with an all white high end build with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of ddr5 in the white phanteks nv7. The pc is a beast and I keep it clean.
