Stick with Windows 7. Trust me. Also, a 120GB SSD is going to fill up quick, wouldn't count on using it for game storage, programs are fine though. Other than that, the build looks fine. No worries with the RAM, 8 is still plenty.

Okay and is ram just expensive right now or is there some cheaper than mine because that 8gb of ram is $90 by itself? What do you think I should do about the storage get like a 240 gb ssd and a 250gb hdd or...?

RAM in general is expensive right now, and the brand you picked is certainly one of the best. For storage I would stick with the 120 SSD, just use it only for the OS and your main programs. Grab a decent SATA TB drive with a solid 32-64 MB of cache and use that for everything else. Once the Steam sales hit, you're going to want all the storage you can get! Haha

Haha true but I dont have a ton of stuff I usually consume about half of a 500gb hdd so I will stick with that and the 120gb ssd I think. Also is the ssd I picked good or should I get something better I don't know much about ssds I just picked that one because it had high read and write times?
