COLBY, 13, NSW

Before I start, go easy on me, I’m only 13… Anyway. Ever since I was 12 I’ve been obsessed with making my own PC and having a setup that would blow people away although around half my stuff is 2nd hand. Unfortunat­ely my parents bought my desk and I can’t drill holes for cable management and mount my monitors like a lot of people do and it’s a bummer because I love competitiv­e gaming and I want cords for response times but they look bad...

MOST IMPRESSIVE ELEMENTS:

1. Gigabyte 1050Ti G1 Gaming 4GB 2. Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB MX Speed 3. Corsair MM800 RGB Mousepad (Razer mousepad on top for mouse gripping) 4. Deep cool RGB 350 LED Strip Kit

LAST UPGRADE:

Gigabyte 1050Ti G1 Gaming 4GB

DREAM UPGRADE:

A 1080 TI, Intel 6950X in a custom liquid cooling loop and maybe more SSD space since I only have 240GB and I’ve almost run out of space.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL:

It’s my first PC that I built on my own, I’ve built 2 with my dad but he did a lot of the work, and it’s entirely RGB so I can have any colour theme I want at any time.

1. Why are those Stormtroop­ers trying to shoot your PC? 2. Sean loves his RGB mouse pad. Too many “argle-bargles” for Wilks though 3. Dual monitors for your first build. Damn. 4. Sure it’s no 1080Ti, but the 1050Ti is one of our favourite cards on the market 5. Fine choice of keyboard right there 6. You’ve got some Razer on your Corsair
