OS: I would like to have windows 7, but i'm not sure where to get it. Everywhere I look, the reviews say that it is either not compatible/working or pirated.(expecting around $100)
Optical Driver: Probably, any OC from newegg or something similar around $25 will do. (any recommendations) ($25)
Total is around $860 so far. Basically, i just need to know if i should switch anything, if the parts work well together, and recommendations for the parts i still need.
