I am going to build my first pc and I need an OS. The price for W7 and W8 is a $20-$30 difference so I was going to but W8 on my pc. However, it seems like W8 is more of an upgrade or an expansion pack like WOW where you need W7 before W8. Is this true? Do I need W7 if I want to upgrade to W8?

No, you can buy a full install of Win 8 or 8.1. No Win7 needed.
