Ok, so I know you can already build a pretty good gaming PC for $700 already, but with black Friday, you could do a lot better right?
I already have : monitor and peripherals, 700gig HDD (but it's basically gone, so I need another ), and 3x2gig ram sticks ( still need to get more because these are absolute shit ).
Question : I have Windows 7 installed on this hard drive, I don't have a key or a disc ( may have a recovery disk ) and it came pre installed on this comp ( bought it as a whole :/ ). Will I still be able to use this windows if I use another motherboard or will I have to buy a new copy?
Games I play : WoW, LoL, SC2, Skyrim, BF3 and whatever else comes out.
So, basically, I'd like to take advantage of the black friday deals and build a gaming rig that can run most games ( it's probably not going to get ultra right? ) at high with decent fps ( will it be able to do that also? ).
I really appreciate any help and if you read all of this. Thank you so much.
Edit : Tried making one but it's a little over. I could downgrade to a 660 ti easily though.

Edit 2 : It seems I have to buy a windows 7 copy, so I tried to make this one, and it's basically in the price range.
