This has been asked before but we have been away from the scene for a while and users may have changed their OS.

I'll start of by voting for Windows 7. I kept messing with 8.1 but there was always something not quite right. Especially the fact that my external USB 3.0 hard drive would only work in a USB 2.0 port!

Why the i5? Couldn't afford an i7 :dirol: . I did look at an Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3. Basically an i7 with out the graphics core. Or could have gone i3 with a 780 but went for balance in the end.

E3-1230 V3

8.1 is getting better boot times, scores in benches, and smoother game play for me. Of course I have to use classic shell for the win7 feel and old/new explorer for themes. It was like going from XP to Win7, just takes a little getting used to. :dirol:
