I have no idea where to buy windows 7, im building a pc to play games.
I originally was going to buy an oem version off amazon for £70, but i dont like the idea of having the os locked to my motherboard, is there anywhere i can get windows 7 for under £100, i would only go for windows 8 if it was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper (£50). If neither is possible would windows 7 oem be a wise investment if i wish to upgrade?

Thanks

You are not going to find a retail copy of windows 7 for under 100. OEM versions of windows 8 can be moved, as long as its only running on 1 system. So I guess your choices are get oem 7 and have it tied to the motherboard, pay more for a retail copy of 7, or get an oem copy of windows 8 which looks like its going for ~80.
