    Microsoft's Windows 10 is now used on Over 900 Million Devices

    It will be a nice feature if you add a third option "not on windows". I changed my win7 with Manjaro and I'm quite happy. Wine does work for the games I'm playing.

    Budget build for web surfing/Facebook gaming - £150 strict budget

    MB+CPU+RAM: Option 1: click - has only 4gb ram - 97.95 Option 2: click - has 8gb ram would go with that - 104.95 Both motherboards have PS2 ports for keyboard+mouse so old ones would works as well. Drawback can be they only have D-SUB for video, but ... most times that is not a problem ;)...

    About to buy HD7850, PSU question

    Well RAM on the GPU doesn't increase power consumption as far as I know. Between those cards I would pick 7850(I already have ;)): - needs only 10A max on 12V rail - a bit faster than 560ti 5%-7% click - check all resolutions BUT if the 560ti is 448 cores then it's worth it ... BUT then...

    Windows 8 Discussion.

    You can say that about most linux distros and if you're gonna be doing e-mail/online work/documents might aswell do it with linux, way cheaper :) (and works well on old hardware). That would be so nice. ;)
