Gonna be building my 20th computer before end of the year, built on the Z370 Classified K motherboard which I already purchased. Typically used for 4K gaming, photo editing & occasional 1080p / 4K video editing.
Additional Components:
CPU: i7-8700K with Hyper 212 EVO cooler (not overclocking at least not to begin with...)
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW – watercooled with NZXT Kraken X60 + G10 (already have - typically run this card at 1424 – 1458MHz boost clock for Folding at Home)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-2800C15D-16GVR
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 P2 80+ Platinum (already have)
Case: Corsair Air-540 (already have)
OS/boot Drive: Samsung 970 Pro 512GB M.2 NVMe
Storage Drive: WD RED 2TB (already have)
OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit (I have 1 more unused COA out of a 3 pack)
Optical: LG 14x Blu-Ray Burner SATA (already have)
Wondering if anyone here is running similar in Windows 7, especially from M.2 SSD ??? Will be installing from USB drive.
Aside from the Intel UHD 630 Graphics processor not having Windows 7 support, any real problems to worry about, especially driver wise???
