Should i go windows 7 instead of 8?

[roger_melchor]

I am building a computer trying to figure out which one to use.
I hate the way windows 8 is set up and i believe its counter intuitive.
Will there be performance cons to using 7 instead of 8?
planning on using a 32 gig system.

yes i like windows 7 because of my old Core2Duo

You will be happier with Windows 7 than you will be with Windows 8.

I personally prefer WIN 7, easy to work on. And there will be no performance issues with WIN 7 over WIN 8. You will be fine.

What do you mean by (32 gig system) ? 1. 32 bits OS or 2. 32GB of RAM ?

32 bits OS is ok to use, but 32GB of RAM will be an overkill.

lets face it,counter intuitive or not,windows 8 is the faster os here.personally i hate it but with windows 8 classic shell (third party program and free) you can make windows 8 look like windows 7.what i am saying is if windows 7 is the look you want you can have the performance of windows 8 and a familiar look.personally,im wating for windows 9.maybe they will get it right by then.

As you can see in this video, OS doesn't really affect gaming performance, it all comes down to personal choice.
