Got this straight from the MS site

- OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel

- OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on

- OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

- OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system

And on top of that its only $64 for students. Youre not restricted to just the OEM version.

Im also looking for a cooler, my stock coolersounds like a motor boat. Im looking for something quiet that keeps the temps low and fits in my case. My budget is around $40

[QUOTE="GazaAli"]The GPU is a bit weak for such a rig. Also, if its for gaming then this i7 is too much. And if I'm getting this right, you are getting two 4 GB DDR3 RAM sticks. This better be three 3GB DDR3 sticks for the whole triple channel thing and all.Postal_Guy

Microcenter has some pretty good processor deals for in-store pickup. Do you or your friend have a Microcenter close to where you live?
