You can download the Windows 8 Enterprise (evaluation) Edition for free. You can rock that for 3 months for free and then make an informed decision over which OS to buy

hey thanks for your quick reply, that seems like a really good build. i don't actually need a mouse and keyboard so i could probably just switch them for a copy of windows and its still under £750 which is great. thanks again!

Gotta say i love them cases, only thing thats stopped me is the fear of not fitting everything in right lol. Send some pics once its built if you dont mind

Again I left out the OS so you can concentrate your cash on components. This 7870XT is closely related to the 7950, with a bit of tweaking you can get 7950 performance for less cash.

Best of luck with the build. Hopefully you have an idea how to balance things out now
