Games: 

 

ARK: Survival Evolved

Star Citizen

X-Plane 11

CS:GO

GTA V (Maybe)

Rocket League

War Thunder

KSP (Kerbal Space Program)

Doom (Also maybe)

and some others that I havent thought of yet :):P

Windows 7 is still fine. There are some minor instablility with Win 10 that some people faced with but nothing important. Win 7 is still being supported by Microsoft anyway. Save 30 bucks for another game

Yeah, but i use a flight sim which is coming out next month, won't it be more fine-tuned for windows 10 then 7. ALso, the games would be supported for longer in windows 10.

Win 10 has support for DX 12; you might need it for games in the future. Get your OSes of Kinguin as it can save you a lot of $$$.

10 would be optimal in the long run. I am sure Flight Sim should work well with all operating system (except XP and Vista maybe)

I am still confused. If it is being released next month, wouldn't it be better for the newer os. Why would they make a new flight sim for an old os.

Ummm that depends on the developer entirely, it has little to do with the OSs themselves

Why don't you want to buy it from there? They have great customer service and buyer protection, also, they're not a black market site.

Market share on 7 is still higher than 10 for an example

Please list a reason. I'm not forcing you, but it's the more reasonable choice as it's about $60 USD cheaper than the retail OEM version.

I just dont feel right buying it online. My brothe rbought a CD key online and now it says its not a legitimate version. I feel more comfortable buying from a retailer that I know and trust.
