My future rig

[Caminon]

My dream rig that I'm currently saving for. I'm thinking of opting for a GTX 1080 (Ti?) if the price is reasonable, or maybe doing a custom water loop in the future. Anything I should change? Note: By the time I will have enough money, the free windows 10 upgrade will no longer be available.

It seems pretty good, but I would change the Seagate Barracuda for WD Blue or Black.

If you have an old computer running Windows 7 or 8 , you can use your product key from it to activate Win10 in your new computer.

Will you lose win7 on the older CPU?

Nope, but you can't update your old computer to Win10.

I did that. And both computers are working fine.

 I already upgraded my current computer from win7 to win10, so I unfortunately can't use your solution.
