9. Operating System

After you have all of your computers parts, and have put them together you will need the software to run it. Ultimately the operating system you want to run is completely up to you, but for simplicities sake I would recommend just purchasing, borrowing, trading, or finding a copyAfter you have all of your computers parts, and have put them together you will need the software to run it. Ultimately the operating system you want to run is completely up to you, but for simplicities sake I would recommend just purchasing, borrowing, trading, or finding a copy of Windows 7 (64-bit). That being said the requirements for the Windows 7 (64-bit) are:

  • 1Ghz or faster 64-bit processor
  • 2Gb RAM
  • 20GB hard drive space
  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

If you do not have a friend with a Windows 7 copy, or do not know how to get it by any other means I would advise buying
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders
. This  is the cheapest version of Windows 7 you can purchase as it is OEM, and you can only install it on one system.
