what OS should i put in this system

[glitchmaster0001]

Hi so i build old school computers and i just acquired enough parts to build one. here are the specs

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad q9300

Mobo: Asus p5k-e

Ram: 4x 2gb DDR2 800Mhz

GPU: Nvidia quadro FX 3800 1GB GDDR3

PSU: Rosewell Green 430w

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 250GB HDD

Cooling: Thermalright Venomous X 1x 120mm fan in push config

Case: Thermaltake Soprano RS ATX Midtower

so now the only thing that im stuck with is what OS should i put in this system. in terms of cost I already have product keys to all of the windows OS. So that is not my concern. what do you guys think?

None of the above! Start with Debian and customize it how you want.

all depends on what you are using it for.

Two words for you:

quad-booting.

 

Get on that, and get back to us with the results.

Purely because you said gaming I would go with Windows (any version is fine honestly). Game support on Linux is pretty terrible. Then again, I wouldn't expect to game on that at all.

thats why i said light gaming. suprisingly that quadro card can do some light gaming at respectable frame rates even at 1080p. in that case im debating between windows 7 and windows 10

I haven't seen Windows 10 harm performance at all so it can't hurt honestly.

So long it is not a microsoft product, you'll be fine!

UPDATE: i just loaded windows 10 pro 64 bit into this system and overclocked the q9300 to 3.0ghz and it makes a good light gaming/productivity machine.
