Do you already have that mobo and CPU? Why did you went last gen?

I decided to throw the OS because you can get the key from G2A which is around 15 ~ 20$

 

This build may go a bit higher than 700$ but definitely worth it

 

But if you already have the mobo and CPU then drop my cpu+mobo choice but follow the same for the rest of the components

No you could do a way way better build for $800 sorry I don't have time to give you one right now I will later today.

How do you get that windows key ??

Just buy from the buyers, but choose the most rated one, buying windows like that could be tricky

it's pretty cheap i guess

[Jett2]

Sorry if i noobed it aha. But no i did not previously own the mobo or CPU, i thought the i5 3330 was better than my i3540. How exactly do i get that OS? i clicked to lik and page was not found, i just dont ant to be scammed for my money is all, and a legit purchase would just make me feel safer.

Alright well i was lucky enough to find a windows 8.1 64 bit key for around 28 bucks, but before i buy it what would i need for installation(64-bit) and how would i install it?

Ok i installed windows 8.1 on my computer but instead of getting the 64 bit version which i wanted i got a 32 bit, i just bought a key to activate windows, but what did i do wrong? it didnt really give me a choice to choose between either the 32 or the 64 bit.
