I want to see what Intel can do to counter this price to performance

Raise prices when they sell their 10 core joint in Q4

The new windows update is rolling out, and what comes with it is the new Game Bar which is pretty cool....made a lil video showing some of the features.



And an overall general layout of the features on Major Nelson's blog

Introducing The New Xbox Game Bar

Xbox Games coming to Steam, nice

The Windows Store was ass and lacked basic functionality. It moved like a mobile App Store.

Here's the build, when you look at the monitors - pick whatever you feel is more suitable for you. Civilization 6 allows for ultrawide settings, so I thought it would be a better option for you if you prefer having 2 displays but in 1. If you prefer dual 27 inch monitor, get a 1440p or 1080p monitor with the other monitor I gave you.
Only pick up the rtx 2070 at price (under 470). If not possible, get a rtx 2060 under 400.
Add whatever 7200 rpm hard drive size you believe you need (if needed)

If you type alot and like the clicky feel get a cherry brown (quieter) or a better feel but loud (cherry blue) keyboard. I added the best gaming mouse you can get vs price. If you solely want a gaming driven keyboard get a cherry mx red keyboard. Coolermaster, Corsair is a good starting point for gaming keyboards. Brown cherry are best median between typing and gaming.

I'm $149 over, but it's very close to $1500

Also, I need to do more research on the individual components, to make sure everything is all good.

No, I don't. Optical discs are obsolete technology now.

I'm reading a lot of stuff about transferring my windows 10 license. What's the best route to go for this?

I got the free upgrade from windows 7.

Also, @MMA Mo suggested using Samsung Magician Software when transferring my old HHD data to a new SSD. Samsung Magician Software | Samsung V-NAND SSD

This is probably the first thing that has to done. Will it have any affect on the transferring of my windows 10 digital license?

You might have some problems with transferring the Win 10 license to a new motherboard. I'm not sure about transferring from a HDD to an SSD using the same mobo though. I think you may have to contact microsoft if you can't use Win 10 on your new ssd

Just go to windows 10 settings and make a Microsoft account for free. Whenever you switch motherboards it’ll simply ask if you changed hardware in your system; you enter your windows account username/pw and it’ll activate. Make the account BEFORE doing anything.

Grab a license, but I'm sure you can do better than 40. Try the Buy/Sell sections of a PC tech forum.

You can download the full version of Windows 10 off Microsoft site if you are tight money and don't wanna buy. It has a watermark in the bottom right corner unless you activate a license, is the only thing.

Just buy a key off of ebay, you should be able to get one for under $5 just make sure to choose a seller with excellent feedback, alternatively just use it with the water mark as was previously suggested.
