That is a pretty solid setup there. While gaming wouldn't be much different, this would prove better for your non gaming tasks.

I Would not get Win10 unless you want Microsoft to monitor every single thing you do all the way down to your key presses, get Win 8.1 or 7

logainofhades · Dec 17, 2015

Win 7 is losing support, and win 8.1 is a pile

Austin_Richey · Dec 18, 2015

I have windows 7 right now and have not had 8 or 10. but I have heard bad things about windows 8 so should I stick with 7 or choose 8?

logainofhades · Dec 18, 2015

I would choose 7 over 8. Keep in mind that future titles are going to be DX12, and you are not going to get that with Win 7. You will have to have Win 10 for that. There are options to turn off the features that people are concerned with privacy wise.

logainofhades :

okay so in windows 10 I can just turn off the features dealing with privacy? I may choose 10 then.

logainofhades · Dec 18, 2015

Yes, during install, you come to a screen for advanced setup, and you can turn off the stuff you don't want it to do, with regards to any kind of tracking.

Alright sounds good I think I will choose 10, I have had windows 7 forever and have been debating switching to ten anyways.
Thank you
