Hi, I'd like to take the plunge and get a new PC. The thing is, I'd like to keep using Windows 7. I read that the new Kaby Lake won't allow you to use Windows 7 and Skylake's support will end sometime in the summer of 2017. I also read that Windows 7 support will end for all CPUs sometime in...

Oh I see now. I'm on pcpartpicker and they have a list of pc case types. What's the difference between an ATX mini tower and a Micro ATX mini tower?

Jake, it says its £276.95. Isn't that over 200 dollars ? Neat thing I just picked up, if you take out the uk in the url, it converts the pounds to dollars.

No OS needed Also, I'm trying to put together a build on PCPartPicker, the estimated wattage is 134W, but I remember reading awhile ago, that 500W was the minumum you should have for a PSU.
