What resolution is your monitor?

Wow 13 years old and away to build a computer yourself? thats pretty good you must be decent with computers 8) i was 16 when i first built one, looking forward to seeing soem pics in the future btw do you have most of the parts or is this just a plan?

I'm working on my 1st build too only I'm not 13 hahaha. I wouldn't go with water cooling if you're not sure of yourself. I also wouldn't add it just for your cpu, unless that's a closed system like the eco or w/e. I know that company makes an air series of coolers that are pretty good from what I hear.

But as for your video card I would suggest these two. The 1st is a 460 that looks really great to me. The second is a 465 that looks EPIC. You can also flash a 470 onto it but I've never done that so I would be leery of it. It's about 60$ more though. Links to the cards are in the description. Not my vids btw but I recommend subbing him for awesome tech stuff like this. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

That's my two bits, enjoy building it and keep us updated!

Oh and link to that mouse pad haha if you would. Sorry I didn't buy AMD so I don't know any good mobos. EVGA, Asus and Gigabyte are all leading intel boards though.

Thanks for the reply The 460 is supposed to be better and you can get LOADS of different types (overclocked, different fans etc.) of GTx 460's. Mostly because nvidia thought they would leave most of it to the Manufacturers. Most of them have there own EVERYTHING, PCB, fans etc. The 2GB is suppose to be the ultimate med-high end card. and it's precoverclocked. So I'm gonna stick to the GTX 460 2GB. And here's the mouse mat. It was Blue, Green and RED (not purple) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . I guess I will stick to air cooling for my CPU.

It's a plan lol Thanks, I have to wait until October -_- (my dad's fault) that's the only problem. Being a 13 year old, I don't have a job so I can't pay for it myself. Oh well, it's suppose to be a Christmas Present anyways. Months earlier so at least I don't to wait until December
