Also, I just found out that I can upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free! Does anyone know what version of Windows 10 it is?

Anyone know where i can get a cheap monitor?

Ok, great! Just looking to make a physical copy because I will need it when I purchase my rig!

And is it possible to get this in a hard copy? Or would I have to purchase a copy and then burn an ISO onto a drive?

I don't see the PSU on there two times? I saw that the case is OOS, but I was posting this mostly for a check of quality. I plan on buying this rig within the next couple weeks. I may be able to overclock, but it will depend on how friendly the BIOS is...hah

Right now I'm looking at something like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7w9rfH P.S. - Is it worth it to go for the Ryzen 7 2700X?

I was thinking perhaps right after Christmas, honestly. :)

All great suggestions! I may wait until the beginning of the new year to purchase, however, so I may bump this thread right around the time I'm ready to buy. But I may buy earlier! As far as Windows 10 goes, I don't mind spending a little extra as long as it's a legit copy! I've had nightmares...

Thank you all for your feedback. That's really good to know! Another question: I have Windows 7, 64 bit. Will I get optimal performance out of that OS or should I upgrade to Windows 10?

I've got a 1TB spinner right now. I hardly use much storage these days, however.

Wonderful, that's good to hear. And, what about perhaps upgrading the RAM speed a bit? I know my mobo supports DDR4-3466, but we have 3000 on there. Is it worth it to take a better RAM?

One thing I was thinking: I'd be willing to go down some memory on the SSD for a bit more RAM. Would that be a smart move? For example, cut the SSD to 500G and double RAM.

Thanks for the feedback on the PSU :) It's good to know! Donald, thanks for all your hard work. I think it's starting to look really good so far. I'm going to take some time to review and I will be back!

Less than 2 years, I'd say.
