Does building a gaming PC from components fall into the realm of handyman-ness? If so, I crushed it this weekend. 12 y/o has Minecraft on max settings and is on cloud 9.

Built my first one a long time ago and have continually upgraded parts as needed. I don't think anything except the case and cd drive are left from the original. Really loved that first build though.

She was using a refurbed Dell Latitude laptop with I3 processor. It was a dog for Minecraft and it wouldn't even load Unravel. It will do everything she wants for now. Video card/power supply/drives can all be upgraded when she wants to spend her money on it down the road.


Specs:
ASRock Micro ATX DDR3 1066 Motherboards 970M PRO3
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) (04G-P4-6253-KR)
Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory Module BLS4G3D1609DS1S00 (x2)
Seagate ST3250310CS 250GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive
Antec VP-450 Power Supply
AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition
Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case FBM-01
Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)
ASUS VS248H-P 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Back-lit LED Monitor
Win10


Now, I'm thinking about building something for the home system. Our old ass eMachine is lagging with the Win10 "upgrade".

Pretty cool, is that upcycled pallet wood?

It's just paneling.  Not pictured is the removable head board that I whipped up after the first user mentioned their pillows kept shooting out behind them.

Would have been much easier and nicer if it wasn't for the short ceilings in the basement.

Finished up the room by getting rid of the desk/stand combo that took up too much room and whipped up a quick shelf desk.  Not happy with where the tower is sitting now, want to take everything out of the case and wall mount the exposed MB, but MRS DMartin isn't fond of the idea.  Will run the cables in the wall when I do figure out where to put the tower.

just replace the PC with a Dell AIO...

Replaced a rear sliding window motor and regulator assembly in  the truck. $350 dealership quote turned into $85 part and an hour of my afternoon
