Pretty good actually, but you can find Windows 10 and 7 OEM liscenses cheap on ebay. I got my last license for $10.

*No need for a Z270 board with a locked CPU and 2133MHZ Ram - pick up an H270 or B250 board for much less.
*Skylake and KabyLake benefit from dual channel RAM moreso than previous generations. A 2x4GB would be a smarter idea than a single 8GB module.
*A 240GB SSD will fill up fast if it's your only storage device. Make sure you pair it with an HDD.

While it's true they are available, I wouldn't recommend picking one up. There's always the potential they're already in use, have been stolen, have been purchased with a stolen credit card etc. Always buy your OS from official retailers or MS directly.

$160 saving right off the top, with only positive impacts to performance (and you could put that money towards a better GPU).

I have bought four licenses so far from different sellers, and I have not run into a single problem yet.

That doesn't mean that it's entirely issue free.

What if OP has an issue? He'd probably blame you.

While this list is more expensive than Barty's, it's significantly more powerful and is still cheaper than your original list.

I just wanted to make sure that OP gets a card that offers good price/performance and is compatible with their power supply. Since I already had a list that showed me what power supply they were planning to buy, I just went ahead and did it for them.

I was just messing with you dude.

So RektSkrubz down voted me...

@RektSkrubz, you do realize that Tom's is a place where we should always place our best foot forward, right? Just because you can get Windows for $10 (and I know people whose licenses have been blacklisted because they did that), doesn't mean you should.

Here on Tom's, I believe it to be my responsibility to be as useful to the original poster as I can be. If that means they end up spending​ an extra $70 to avoid being labeled as a pirate, I'm okay with that.

While many don't call it pirating, buying activation codes that are copied off of OEM machines for a fraction of the actual price of activation is pirating in my book. Tom's does not allow pirating and many users will likely back me up in my stand that we shouldn't encourage it either.

Cheap windows licenses re never recommended here.

And with Microsoft's new rules, aren't really needed, as you can reuse the license from PC to PC serially. as long as the old PC stops being used, you can transfer the license to a new pc
