Building a Pc for my kid

Been following this for a while...

You going to do a build breakdown with some pictures for us?
Yes but I have asked Maximums to give the breakdown of the build. I'll post some pics once I have everything up and running for the kiddo.. Still need to get a monitor. Need to re arrange some things in his room as its small, so will do that once I have everything in place
 
Did the gpu I sent off ever make something of itself or was it actually legitimately dead?
Gpu still dead. I sent a gtx660ti to be used in the build. Also because of festive season the little time i had went down to zero.
I will get back to the card in the next week or two and if i can get it up and then i will ship it and get the 660 back
 
So bought a 32 inch tv to use as a monitor for this build. Question, should I mount that tv slightly above eye level or leave on the desk?

If you have no card yet Then I'll donate my dead Powercolor R9 280X (bought a RX580 a few days ago after almost a year without gpu and gaming)

Somehow water got into the pc, or should I say my daughter's friend spilled some liquid on it and the card died. @ScorpioMan86 did offer to look at it and maybe get it up and running at a minimal cost. If he's still up to having a look at it, you can collect at my place as I know you close by...up to you...?

@Maximums_Rickimus indicated that the build is complete, and will ship this week i think, but i have no idea about pc's much, so not sure about GFX cards and how good that one is etc
 
Hi, I'm done with the build. Been a crazy couple of months. Only struggling with the power cable for the GPU since this micro-atx case is proving to be very complicated but will be shipping tomorrow.
So finally managed to get this up and running. We building an extra room or 2, as our place is tiny. So just got 2 school desks lol to set this up so long. Once we done building a bigger space, the. I'll get a proper desk and everything set up a bit better. But below some pics. For my kid this will be just fine thanks. And thanks to everybody that contributed to this , and to Maximums for putting it all together
