Windows 7 or windows 8 for my new gaming rig.

[sirgray]

I am building a new gaming pc and I have already ordered all the parts. But I am wondering once I put it all together, Should I installed Windows 7 or Windows 8? I heard overall win 8 is faster but was wondering what you guys think?

win8 is just slightly faster, you probably won't even notice difference.
