The power supply would be the sticking point, if anything. What prebuilt is this?

What do you mean by this

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

When I press like F10 on start up I get all the HP stuff does the HP stuff interfere with a raw windows 8 install. Do I need to find specific drivers with the new install or does windows do that for me?

Windows 10 will find drivers for you. A fresh install will clear out the hp bloatware, you don't need it anyway.

Make sure you quote people so we see your responses.

 

The HP software is not important so don't worry about it, as for drivers you could stick with the default drivers or use the ones from the motherboard manufacturer's website. What motherboard did you want to get, and what CPU is going in it?
