I was tasked with buying components for my 13 year-old grandson so that he and I could build a computer.  This was his Christmas present, so Mom and Dad paid and Grandma shopped.  I was given a $1,000 budget and shopped at the Egg like mad over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend.  After Grandpa and Grandma threw in $100 towards the build, I was able to come in at only $80 over budget and that's only because of the insane prices of HDDs right now.

 Core i7 2600

Gigabyte Z68 UD3P

8 GB Gskill RAM

 Asus GTX 560 Ti

Cooler Master Silent Pro 800 Watt 80+ Gold power supply

Cooler Master RC 692 case

OCZ Agility 3 SSD, 60 GB

Seagate HDD, 1 TB

ASUS DVD multi

I also scored two free game downloads, Batman Arkham City with the video card and Battlefield 3 with the CPU.

I asked his mom what he had to open up on Christmas morning and she said a new pair of jeans and some new socks.  I teased her that she was the meanest mom ever!  But she said the 13 year-old attitude was starting to present itself, so she didn't feel too bad.  I set it up out here and when they came out for their annual Christmas Pizza, he walked in and the look on his face was one of pure shock.  All he could get out was, "Oh. My. God.  Are you kidding me?  Oh. My. God."

We built it Monday and when it was all together I asked him if he wanted to do the honors and push the button the first time.  When we had lights and fans and the motherboard splash screen, that deserved a big old high five!  Of course, we ended up with headaches with enabling ISRT on the board - drives dropping out and finally, the dreaded boot looping.  But Grandma is nothing, if not determined.  I was up until midnight and finally got everything working and the boot loops stopped. I took it in Tuesday and we fired it up.  I have quite possibly the happiest grandson on the planet right now!  Plus, he learned a lot.  Life is good!

well soon enough

hahahaha, u gotta remember, Kardon lives up the cold north country, this way he kills 2 birds wit 1 stone, he gets an awesome DIY computer and it heats his house in the winter  

lol true dat.  

Yeah, I was trying to get the maximum shock value for the 13 year-old grandson who only had a pair of jeans and some new socks to open up on Christmas morning!  The boy was happily playing Battlefield 3 on his new rig all week before he had to go back to school yesterday.

 As far north as I grew up, even Kardon's computer wouldn't heat my house!
