So I bought windows 7 on ebay around a year ago, I currently have the parts for my new pc and I am about to build it but I want to move this windows 7 on to my new computer, I checked the product ID and it has "OEM" in it, Can I use this key with another computer/ Different brand of motherboard? The pc I am using now is custom made and I'm a bit confused as how an OEM version is on a custom made computer?

Thank you

Yep, Already planning on getting an aftermarket cooler (212 EVO) thank you

What psu do you think would fit as a good replacement that isn't expensive?

Yeah, Someone on another forum told me to try and buy a new better psu and I also already have a GTX 970 which I'm pretty sure has better performance than a r9 380 so no reason for that.

I've heard things about DirectX 12 being able to use more of the i7 while gaming, So it's mostly for future proofing.

Hmm I might get two more 4 gig sticks then, Also I only have 400 dollars, I need to buy a whole new motherboard, I simply can't afford a i7 right now but I'm planning ahead for the i7 c:

Thank you! c: I probably should have looked harder.

So I'm pretty sure I have everything down, But I'd like to get any second opinions on my system. I currently have: CPU: FX 6300 (Stock speeds, Stock fan) GPU: GTX 970 Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS (am3+) RAM: Two Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB HDD: One WD Blue 1TB Western Digital and another older HDD that I'm going to be putting up (The older one is the one with my OS on it I recently bought the 1TB SSD: None, Yet Power supply: EVGA 100-W1-500-KR 500W This Christmas, I'm going to be getting $400, I want to spend all of this on upgrading this pc. I was thinking this would be good but I'd like second opinions from you guys CPU: i5 4590 (Replacing the FX 6300, Not going to be overclocking so I didn't get a K version, Stock fan) GPU: GTX 970 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 3 LGA 1150 Z97 (Z97 Because next year I will be getting an i7 4790k and overclocking) RAM: I will be using my two 4GB of ballistix and I will add one 8GB ballistix equaling to 16GB of ram HDD: WD Blue 1TB Western Digital SSD: Planning on getting an SSD later next year Power supply: EVGA 100-W1-500-KR 500W Case: Either getting a NZXT Phantom 410 Series for free from a friend or a RAIDMAX Scorpio V I also want Windows 10 so I will be putting Windows 7 on my WD blue and upgrading to Windows 10 from there, Unless there is an easier way to do it? But opinions are greatly welcomed
