Thanks for the quick reply, would the best website for these items be hardwareversand.de? Thanks.

Digital Solitude

Sorry yeah I meant to say that. Type the parts into geizhals.de to get them cheaper. Type them into geizhals and find the hardwareversand link through there.

Gigabyte or MSI 970
H97 ASRock Pro4
Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM
BeQuiet PSU is what you want!

Total is 1150 delivered or something. You can connect two monitors grand just make sure one has DisplayPort, DVI-I or DVI-D, as the 970 only has 1 HDMI port

Is this stuff legit or not totally kosher? I've heard rumours on other forums about a Reddit subforum selling knocked-off/cracked/illegal copies of Windows stuff.

I'd be worried because I'd like the option of upgrading to Windows 10 with the free upgrade, but if it's not the real deal, maybe that won't work?

They're Windows dev keys, bought in bulk from MS.

Not for use by us but treated as legit keys by MS. Mine is genuine according to their own checks. And they get the Win10 upgrade
