So, earlier in the year I got a gaming rig, and it came pre-equipped

7 is considered 'the best' windows on /g/, which I can agree on.

8.1 is good if you have the start menu installed/get used to metro and can deal with the terrible design inconsistencies

10 is great if you like flat design and can deal with the idea that your OS might track your every move and report it back. In the future W10 is probably the best choice for gaming because of DX12.

10 for performance

Oh and W8 reports like 1-2 fps more in some games sometimes and slightly faster boot times.

if I missed out on something why don't you do it for me?

And mind he just bought himself a gaming rig so he's probably not into that welfare line software of yours.

So, before this thread gets derailed into yet another os fight, can someone possibly provide me with a copy of 7 or 10, or will I have to buy it myself?

You should just upgrade to win10 and nuke&pave to start anew, so you would get the best possible user experience. make sure to backup all your data first.

Why upgrade to windows 10? because it'll be better in the long term. MS has planned for win10 to be their last OS and are planning to release updates/upgrades via windows update. you might as well get it out of the way for the next few years instead of buying a windows 7 that will probably last for some time before MS is done with it
