I'm building my first  PC, and definitely need dome guidance on this one. I WILL NOT pirate, but I do want to pay less that the MSRP of ~$120 for a 64bit version of Windows 8.

If you want a 100% legit copy your best bet is just to look at PCPartPicker to see which retailer has it for the cheapest but don't expect any crazy discounts.

I did not buy Windows 8 from G2A but I have Purchased CSGO, Sims4, Sims City and GTA 5 From G2A. So in my Eyes I trust them with a lot of things

G2A

Don't do G2A, they are pirated product codes. I bought one for about $30 and it worked fine but then I reinstalled Windows and had to buy a new key because the one that I got from G2A was pirated.
