I will be playing steam games and do some very light "photoshoping" / movie makeing with SFM (source filmmaker). I have used Windows 7 before.

SO which one suits me the best?

go for windows 8.1 x64 as it is directx 11.1 capable hence enhancing and smoothening ur gaming performance squeezing the best out of ur graphics card.... also it will give u xtra 5-10 boost in fps in games like bf4..... hope this helps

well there is no big difference windows 7 is better with some games and windows 8 also has some games that are better on it so there is big no performance difference but windows 8 has faster boot time and better cpu cores usage so with mincraft it will be better but so its up to you .
i would go for windows 7 or 8 because windows 10 will be free for windows 7 and 8 users (not enterprice)
