Well at the moment my computer is shit and i have been saving up for a upgrade.

What im looking for :
A computer capable of running all good games, with minimum lag,And should be able to in 2-3 years time. (Because im a Xboxer not a pc gamer)
$6-800 budget.
I dont want to have to build it unless i can get all the parts from 1 place.

If you have links to already built computers u recommend can u post?
If not what i should be looking for and how much to pay for a simple gaming computer.

You can only use Windows on one computer, can re-install it as many times as you want on the same computer but can't use the same cd key on a different computer. Unless you have a business version or I think Ultimate/Pro allows you to.

As long as it is a genuine key, you can enter it again into a new install on a new computer,

there is a possibility of the activation being detected twice by Microsoft but all you have to do is call the number they give you and go through the automated procedure to get it activated again.

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

You're thinking of the OEM edition, which is about 50% cheaper than a standard licence. I just bought Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM on mwave for $99 with my new computer last week
