How can I break my computer? My old one because maybe my mum wll then let me use my new computer early. So how could I permanent break it with no easy fix? because my unle does all this stuff. He is pretty much a 30 year old you, so everyone in my family goes to him in pc help so I need to break my old computer with out him fixing it. So how could I. Do you know?
Nothing obvious that my mum would even know and nothing that would kill someone trying to look at it
Thanks.

Dump water on your motherboard then power it up.
Short circuit your computer and fry all your components.

It seems the card is too long considering the 1x slot is placed higher than normal. It's meant to be used for shorter cards and Asus did not anticipate something longer being used there. For the fans, they're missing connectors and I have no clue why they would not be there.

case: NZXT Source 210 Elite Black Steel with painted interior ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Black Front Trim
Video card: GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
power supply: LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply
motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61MA-D3V LGA 1155 Intel H61 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
CPU: Intel Pentium G860 Sandy Bridge 3.0GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80623G860
SSD: OCZ Agility 4 AGT4-25SAT3-64G 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Total: $417.50 with shipping and tax included
p.s. the RAM was free with the motherboard
What's your budget? What will you be using the computer for?
budget: 400-450 usd
use: gaming
I posted this before but I'll post it again and explain it since it seems like you didn't like my previous suggestion
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($89.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Scorpio Black 250GB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card: HIS Radeon HD 6670 2GB Video Card ($59.99 @ Microcenter)
Case: Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Rosewill 350W ATX Power Supply ($29.99 @ Amazon)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit) ($91.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $456.92
Don't think you can game too much with 64GB of storage - scratch the SSD. You can't really afford one on a budget build like this.
Logisys isn't a brand name and for that reason there is no reason to trust it over a Corsair, Rosewill, or Antec for example. 575W is slightly overkill for a budget build as well, but it's better to go over than under on PSU.
Found a 2GB version of the same card on sale
Instead of the G860, go for the X4 965 Black Edition. Much more powerful.
Because of the AMD processor, needed to pick up new motherboard.
THIS IS ASSUMING YOU DO NOT NEED AN OPTICAL DRIVE

This is much better. If it's on my topic, leave it to me.

You forgot Windows, which makes it about $550 - out of the price range.
I don't forget Windows, I recommend torrenting it. You can do a number of things to cut the price if you MUST buy a copy. Go with an H61 mobo and a 7750 or 6670. Find a way to forgo the optical drive, maybe.
Is torrenting easy?

Did you actually ask that. All you need is a blank 4.7gb disk or USB with at least 5gb and download the torrent with some program like utorrent and burn to disk. Boom done.
