Is it a good idea to get Windows 8 for my first gaming pc build?

I never really got to try out Windows 8personally and youtube videos doesnt really say much about whether people should buy it for different purposes. It looks pretty cool but I heard it's pretty confusing to navigate around the layout. I also heard that its very fast on bootup. What do you think gamers? Should I just stick to Windows 7 or upgrade to windows 8?
 
stick with 7 on desktop pc. and it is good idea to use it on laptop which is more frequent to power on and off....

i once installed 8 on PC. the next day, i switch back to 7 because it brings driver probelm to my pheripheral..

just my 0.02 someone can correct me
 
been dual booting both

and have seen some people having problems with some stuff

but so far windows 8 has been perfectly ok for me

no problems with games i have played or with drivers

but still have windows 7 on a second hard drive just in case

and yes it can take a little while to learn to navigate windows 8

though if you want you can use free software like pokki to put the start button back to make life easier
