I have all of my Computer components together but I have one problem.
My budget is $500 (it's safe to go over a little) and my parts are over that budget.
I got my parts together but forgot that I still needed to buy an operating system.
Could you help me in finding parts in my budget while including the price of windows 7?

Thanks! Here are my parts (without windows 7)

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($129.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($52.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card ($129.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)

Hello... check the internet for prices... also EBAY can have lower price options... also you have 30 days to register Windows versions... download an ISO and install... you have 30days of computing and shopping for a low cost key.

eBay for an OS is always a bad idea. Continue with that recommendation and you may earn a ban and delete.

Hello... http://www.ebay.com/ EDIT: Removed by Moderator and it's for a good cause... I'm sure Bill and his wife are involved with this.

You're joking, right?
If you want to donate to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, or any other charity, then do that.
Nothing in that auction/link says anything about being associated with them.
