Future upgrades. If he's not planning on playing VR games or using 4K, he won't really need any more horsepower. From what I understand, this'll be a rig for video editing first and gaming second, so the focus is the CPU.
Yep. I have 8 different consoles and handhelds for gaming. I may dabble in some VR eventually, but this has been conceptualized as a editing/production build. Hence an upgrade to a workstation card(s) later down the line.

The product key on this copy of 7 has already been used. It's just an install disc. But if I have a valid key for 10, will it upgrade?

I have no idea, to be honest. Never dabbled with upgrades as they tend to screw with the registry, I only do clean installs.

I saw the "leaked" benchmark comparision between intel i7 7700k and ryzen 1700 on gta v game. Not sure if it's true or fake, the intel beats ryzen easily.
I guess your priority is a editing pc, I think it's perfect because for multi core use, the ryzen is great.
I would wait to see other benchmarks.

You could get a brand new Win 10/Pro key for around 28usd

How will I create a bootable USB with only the key though? That's where I'm stuck.

I want Win10 because everything will likely be optimized for it. Official licenses are a lot less hassle than bootleg pirated copies. I've seen friends go through days of troubleshooting trying to install Elgato drivers on bootleg copies.

Well, I already purchased the RX480. I suppose I can tinker around with it for a bit

Don't worry about it. 480 is a good card. Ignoring gaming benchmarks because they don't allign with the view of Nvidia>Amd is just fanboy drivel.

Nothing wrong with wanting to go legit, but something else was wrong there or it was some dodgy hacked up version.

Windows10 activated by one of the various toolkits is just a legit unmodified win10 being activated the same way volume license copies are (reaching out to a server every X days), except that server is locally run as a service. There's no difference between it and a legit copy.

Microsoft allows you to download a Win10 iso, buy a valid key from a website like kinguin and simply use the key when asked. I did this. He did too-

If you attend university, you may even get a free Windows key or 10. I know I got a bunch of Windows and Windows Server keys cuz of it. My PC is also running Windows 10 Education, which is pretty much Win 10 Pro, which I got from university too.

I see. That's what I need to do then.

Yeah, I'm planning on using this for Adobe Premier and Vegas Pro. I just did my financial aid packet, so after I finish registration I'm doing just this!

I think my first video project on this new build should be about the new build project and my experience in it!
