So my current build is here http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Yoloswagins/saved/wN6D4D

Tomorrow my new SSD comes http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R9N0O0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So my plan is to remove the Toshiba HDD and Just Run off my Kingston and Samsung SSD.

I want to do a fresh install so from what I've gathered is I can purchase and download win 7 prof make my flash drive bootable and install window 7 prof I might keep the HDD but I was planning on removing it I want my operating system to be on the Kingston and probably the rest of my games I am fine with wiping the computer nothing too important on there I figure it will probably help any how since the upgrades I have done in the past I learned the hard way when I swapped motherboards 3 times that windows didn't think it was genuine so I had to repurchase that. I just don't want to run into any issues so any feedback or support before I do this tomorrow is greatly appreciated

Why are you changing to Windows 7 pro? There is no benefit to anybody aside from corporate users unless you need to use more than 16GB of RAM (Which almost nobody does unless they're running very high end professional applications like CAD, 3D modeling or professional video production suites, or VM's), need the ability to do system backups to remote network locations or have plans, for some crazy reason, to encrypt the entire OS.

I'd just migrate your current OS to the new drive or do a clean install using your current version.
