Morning,
So, PC is collapsing from old age so am going for my first ever build. Am quite tech savvy but have little clue about building a pc. Gone for a lappy instead of a tower as I have small children and tower pc's have lights on them and make nice whirring noises, etc. Please feel free to point out any glaring errors or suggestions for improvement. Budget is pretty much where I am on current cost. Not a gamer but wanted something quite speedy as I hate lag. Might do some streaming, don't know yet. Anyhoo, spec is as follows:

How much do I need Win10? Still have the disc and licence for my Win7 Professional so was wondering if that would suffice? Or should I just accept the future and go with Win10?
Cheers,
Rick
