windows 10 will be forcing peopel to pay for updates pretty soon- I use it without activating though- I don’t care abotu the personal settings for it really-

I’ve been looking at desktops=- uggh- too many choices- I think though I’m gonna build my own- will be about $1000 less than prebuilt with the same specs almost-

That depends on what type of machine that you are planning to build. I have put together a lot of desktops over the years; I used purchase the parts and assemble them for friends. These days it is very difficult to match a good Costco special. For example:
