Hi,

so I ordered the parts for my pc, and I don't want to spend 100$ on windows 10. I know, that Microsoft won't support you, if you have trouble with your pc if your key is oem. Will I most likely have any problems, if I will buy an oem key from a web-page like g2a par example? Or should I just go with a retail key?

Any web-page recommendations where I could to buy the key?

G2A will work fine. But you should be able to use the same key as your old PC.

Id only run retail windows. The g2a on other cheap keys are stolen VL keys. If you want a cheap key run cracked windows as none of the money goes to microsoft with the cheap keys.
