So should i get a near 200$ 'full version' or the >99$ OEM version of windows 7 64 bit, if i go OEM what am i missing out on? is full version worth it?
Edit: or i could load my windows xp (dont know if itll run on asrock z77 with i5 1570 processor and gforc gtx 770) and upgrade to windows 7 for 100$......
 
Full Retail includes support whereas OEM doesn't. It sounds like in either case OEM would be fine for you. There is just one other consideration. The Retail version can be installed over and over on multiple computers, though one at a time. The OEM version is tied to the first PC you install it on. If this is your only install oem is fine.
