Does that window installer at least come with a product key??

do not worry I am going to use the free one from the website

No no the product key is something you would buy separately for $100.

 

You can install windows without the product key you just will have the restrictions I mentioned earlier. The product key is like a verification thing for microsoft to see you paid for windows so you get the extra features.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

Quote

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

You were looking at the focus g right? That's a fine $50 case. Or are you looking to get something more premium?

NZXT H500 is pretty good though airflow is average. Silverstone Redline 06 is a case with really really good airflow though it may not look the prettiest to some people. Fractal Design Define C and Define S are solid quiet cases and the Meshify C has a bit higher airflow though also more noise.

I heard the NZXT has bad airflow.

I don't think it's bad but I don't believe it's anything super special.
