G2A Windows is out of stock due to many of the keys being false and subscription keys.

If that's the case then @peter325, consider https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap. It's a pretty good place for cheap Windows keys, buy from the admins/mods and well trusted people.

All the parts are here, just need to get customized cords to connect the motherboard to the front panel.

The old GPU is better. The 380 is not worth the increase.
