No need to get an OS, *** is your friend ;) We all know what is "that mean bad thing with three letters" that all companies are afraid of ;) Just get the free OS of any kind. It pays off more.

Well perhaps UltimateGamer can build you one. Since I live in the US you would get more for your dollar. In fact I'm just about to build someone else on here a PC anyway ;)

Aw, okay then, but you'll have to cut on the rest of your budget then, which will greatly decrease your PC's potential :) There is no difference between arrgh matey-ed OS'es and normal ones, just the price :)

But I got Windows 7 32 and 64 for free from college....along with Vista Business 32 and 64, Vista Enterprise,XP sp3, WIndows Server 2003 and 2009...:|

DIfferent colleges have different deals, my MSDN-AA is the best thing in life I've ever gotten. As long as I enroll myself in 1 CIS course and show that I am a CIS major, I get all this free stuff :P

Yeah that is a solid build. If you mainly use it for video and for some gaming it is good. Don't know how many videos you plan on keeping on your hard drive but after a few years investing in a 2nd drive wouldn't be bad.

probably not cause the GTS 250 is actually based on the G92 architecture

I'd say go for the Phenom II 925 and either a 4870 or 5770 because those cards are much faster than the GTS 250 ;)
