Given that you picked up Kaby Lake because of a killer discount on the CPU, I don't really see any opportunity to punch holes in this build. I would recommend instead of buying Windows from BBY, you grab a $5 key off of eBay or a $12 key off of SCD Keys and put the savings towards a bigger, nicer IPS monitor (the one you have there is a TN panel, not ideal unless you're going for 144Hz gaming).

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

What are you going to do with that build? Overclocking, gaming, video production, etc

I can respect that. I'd encourage you to read up on exactly where those codes come from, though. Most of them aren't really "pirate" at all.

 

I would suggest an IPS monitor at any rate. A TN panel isn't going to give you the same quality and color reproduction that an IPS will.

Perfect build if you don't wanna build it yourself I think that Best Buy can build you it.

As you should be. Pirated software is a near-guarantee of running into botnets, Trojans and all other manner of wonderful things. The difference with a key from a reseller site is that you're not installing their software, just using their key. eBay keys can be sketchy in origin, but the keys that end up on reseller sites are typically keys that were sold to a large institution (frequently universities) and never used. Rather than just having dozens of keys lying around that are never used, some of them end up on reseller sites. Nothing pirate about that.
