I have looked at a bunch of reviews and other threads trying to decide to go with windows 7 or windows 8.1. No one place can I find something that makes me totally confident in either choice over the other.
My potential setup: PC Part Picker Link
I plan to use the new desktop for gaming, video editing (sony vegas, or adobe), and programming java, C, C++... as I am currently attending university for a BS in software engineering.
My main concerns for win8 is compatability issues with my steam games and minecraft, especially the eclipse jdk I currently use for writing java code.
Main concerns for win7 is that it is a dying OS and that software update support will not be as good as win8.
I plan on maintaining this rig for 3-4 years while upgrading GPU, CPU, RAM and storage as needed.
I am really looking for as clear of a cut winner as I can here with my needs
