No need for a 6600k if you're only getting a 7950. Someone will give you a better build.

No need for a 6600k if you're only getting a 7950. Someone will give you a better build.

It's just for compatibility  for possible future upgrades.

I'm one of those people who think it's illegal. Not really keen on buying os keys from random people on the internet.

Illegal? Buying it from G2A or Reddit is not illegal....

 

If you don't like buying it from other people then G2A is another option. Completely legit, as others will tell you.

And as some others will also say, it's not. I personally don't care if you buy from there or not, just personally don't think it's a good idea.
