USAFRet · Feb 8, 2015

2500 ($?) and no SSD?

As above, what will this be used for?

qwerty987123 · Feb 8, 2015

i assume this is £ as its way over $2500

I have a windows 7 64-bit ultimate instalation disc

USAFRet · Feb 8, 2015

Lythicality :

OK.
And do you have a license key for that install?
What will this be used for?
What "1000watt" PSU are you considering?

Lythicality · Feb 8, 2015

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80 PLUS PlATINUM Certified 1000W my friend has the disc so I'd expect it to have a working key

Lythicality · Feb 8, 2015

The computer would be used for mmorpg's skyrim and far cry 3-4 mainly gaming the total is 2700$ and on newegg as for ssd's I'm not sure as i don't know much about them

1. "my friend has the disc" does not equal having a valid license key

2. For that use, you are probably spending twice what you need.

32GB RAM? No
i7 CPU? No
1000w PSU? No

I guess the term is future proofing then hehe.. All I can find on newegg is OEM discs for windows

USAFRet · Feb 8, 2015

Lythicality :

'Future proofing' is chasing a movable finish line.

What that really means is 'buying a motherboard with 4 RAM slots, and only buying 2 RAM sticks now, because I know I will install 2 more later'.
32GB RAM is a fools choice. By the time a gaming PC needs 32GB RAM to run games, the rest of the system you buy today will be far outdated.

For a Windows 7 OS...yes, that is what you will find for sale. What were you looking for?

Lythicality · Feb 8, 2015

Ive changed the ram to 16gb and I thought I had to buy a retail version of a windows os and not a OEM version

USAFRet · Feb 8, 2015

Lythicality :

The OEM purchase you see at Newegg is fine. Just know that it is tied to that original motherboard.
Bonus.....you get to update to Windows 10 for free.

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up, newegg states that computer case is compatable with the e-atx mobo but will everything else fit
