Thank you Suicidal :)
Also, while I'm here what's the difference between a 32 and 64 bit version of W8? I want to put Windows 8 on my freshly built PC but I don't know which version to get.You want 64-bit
And I want the OEM not an upgrade? And whats the difference between pro and not pro. Also Salty, what's the difference between i5 and i7? I'm surfing the newegg and linked to the CPU you reccomended me earlier was an i7 process for not too much more...any pros to upgrading?
Thank you btw your helping a noob with buyer's regret get his -blam!- together :)Yes, you want the OEM. Pro allows for XP compatability mode and use of more than 16GB of RAM (list of all differences here), so you only need Windows 7 Home Premium. The difference between the i5 and the i7 is that the i7 is hyperthreaded, meaning it has 8 virtual cores along with the regular 4 physical cores. The problem is barely any games take advantage of hyperthreading and probably wont in the future, so when it comes to gaming it offers no benefit over the i5. If you're doing video rendering and stuff like that it is useful. So no, since you're most likely just gaming you won't need to upgrade to an i7.
