I don't have much hands on experience with Win8 but based on what I've read the last two computers I built I put Win7 on them. Supposedly Win8 is pretty good once you get past the GUI, and the GUI is fixable, but Win7 has been all I need in a home computer so I see no need to change. Win7 is getting harder to find. The last computer I built was a media computer for a church. I bought a new copy of Win7 off of Ebay for that one.

MicroCenter is giving PCs away and they all seem to come with 8 now. I bought one such a couple o months ago and am pleasantly surprised, more or less. Win 8 isn’t that hard to work around and the machine is much faster than computers I was buying two years ago, the main complaint is the chess game being missing. This is an HP refurb, 6 gb memory, 1T hard drive, and an I3 chip for just under $300.
