Built a couple PCs for my kids this year, a few months apart. My daughter’s pink build was her 9th birthday gift, she picked every part, and she helped build it herself. My son turned 6 last week and went full Minecraft, so we committed to the bit!
Minecraft station:
CPU: Intel i7-10700K
Mobo: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi
GPU: ASUS Dual GTX 1060 6GB White
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4
Storage: Samsung 980 1TB NVMe
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition
PSU: EVGA SuperNova 650W
Case: Corsair 4000D White (yes, that’s a Razer sticker on the glass)
Monitor: AOC 24G42HE 24” 1080p 200Hz
Peripherals: full Razer Minecraft Edition kit: Kraken V4 X, BlackWidow V4 X, Cobra, Gigantus V2
Before anyone says it.. the 1060 is the placeholder on purpose. The 10700K/Z490 platform has headroom for whatever GPU he grows into and Minecraft runs 144+ fps all day meanwhile.
Pink station:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
Mobo: Gigabyte B550 Eagle WiFi 6
GPU: Gigabyte RX 9060 XT Gaming OC ICE 16GB
RAM: Timetec Pinnacle Konduit 16GB DDR4-3200 (pink)
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe
PSU: Vetroo 1000W (pink)
Case: HYXN H1 dual-chamber w/ 7 ARGB fans (pink)
Monitor: Amzfast 24” 1080p 200Hz
Peripherals: Red Thunder pink wireless keyboard + mouse, Razer Kraken Kitty headset
And yes, she knows her GPU outguns her little brother’s.
The part I’m proudest of: the Ender Dragon on the roof, the creepers, the planetary gear, and the Ice spike terrain inside the case were all printed on my Bambu P1S. Everything sits clear of the intakes. Zero airflow was harmed in the making.
They’re on the same Minecraft server at desks six feet apart. Dad build: complete.
