He used Windows 10, but he didn't factor in the price of an operating system when he estimated the cost. 

I spend most of my time on Autodesk and Caffe. CAD is great, as long as you know what you're doing.

 

Watson: Ryzen 7 1800X, 32GB 3000Mhz Dominator Platinum, X370 MSI Pro Carbon, 2x FirePro W9100s, 2x 256GB Samsung 850EVO SSDs, 2x 6TB WD Raid 1 HDDs, Ghetto Custom Cooling and Case, Logitech G910 and G502, 3DConnection SpacePilot Pro, 6x 27" Viewsonic FHD Monitors, 2x 24" Acer FHD Monitors, Windows 10 Pro/Ubuntu 16.04 Dual.

 

Yes, you can game on FirePro Cards, it's just overkill if you never use it's full abilities.

Windows 10, if you're going to play games that's most likely what you want to install. You can get it for free if you opt in to the insider program.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Well, that's free, I don't know what the question is here.

the catch is that you have to use release candidate builds, which are a bit less stable.

The insider program is something you can sign up for to test windows updates before they're rolled out to the masses. As part of the program, you get a free copy of windows (an experimental build to be precise) - at least that's how it used to be when I last checked. Even though it's experimental, it works just as well as the normal version, it may just be a little less stable.

 

All the information is on the page I linked if you're interested.
