Yes I am aware about the OS, I have a copy of Windows 8.1.
Anyway, thank you for the reply, but I do have a question about the video card. Is the Geforce GTX 970 really better than the 780? I am ok with spending more money on the graphics card because I want really good performance with it.
EDIT: the 780 Ti is on par in price to the 780, is that an option as well?
