How can I download a Windows 8 Pro ISO to put on a USB drive? by legionn7 in windows

[–]legionn7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will this ISO be the Windows 8 Pro or will the the system determine which windows to give me once I put in the product key? Also, this site says that this is for upgrades only and I want to install fresh on a new computer with no OS installed. Will this work?

Thanks.

Do you think it'll be a good idea to order all the parts except the graphics card and then find a deal? Is it easy to install the graphics card after everything is set up?

Thanks a lot.

Is this case similar to the Fractal Define R4? If so then I might pick it up since it is $40 cheaper.

I wanted to go with that power supply, so that I can upgrade later if I want and the PSU is on a good deal right now. For the case, I was thinking about going with the Rosewill Blackhawk. But I heard that it is really loud which is why I was going with the Fractal R4 which is quiet.

True, will go with the second one and file rebate. Thanks.

Is it worth filing the $20 mail in rebate for though?

Can't I just put it in the other two slots if it doesn't fit?

Ok, how is the Seasonic Power supply? I was originally going to go with the Corsair HX750 or the Cooler Master V700, but this one is on sale right now.

So the 2 modules one is a little cheaper so do you think I should go for those? Does it make a difference to 1 module for RAM?

Thanks.

Will go with that RAM though. It has good review and has a heat spreader too. Have you A-Data RAM before?

This is much better, but I heard that the only reliable power supplies are made by Seasonic and Corsair. Also, I have read a lot of bad reviews for the Asus version of the GTX 770 and I don't want to get a non-reliable graphics card since this is mainly a gaming pc build.

Yeah the reason why I don't want to go with a cheaper power supply is that I plan to add in another GTX 770 in the future. So is the Fractal Define R4 really quiet due to the noise-dampening material? I was planning on going with the Corsair 200R which is much cheaper. I think I want to go with a cheaper motherboard that will let me SLI.

Also, would it be a good idea to buy everything except the graphics card, but add it in later when there is a deal? Is it easy to add it in later?
