AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE, sAM3 3,4ghz (125w) ---cpu
Asus M5A78L-M LX,socket AM3+ ---mobo
Corsair Vengeance DDR3,1600-4GB ---ram
Sharkoon T28 blue edition Mid tower ---case
Seagate Harddisk 3.5" 500GB, SATA600, 7200rpm, ST500DM002 ---hdd
OCZ CoreXStream 500WATT ---psu
Samsung DVR DL 22X,SATA ---dvd
Sapphire Radeon HD6670,1GB ---gpu

Also gonna be using a 24inch monitor, 32bit windows7
Thanks already :)
 
Your graphics card is pretty low end too, go for a 6850 or 6870 for gaming.

You want 64-bit Windows 7 definitely.
 
Like Vista said. The key is not tied to 32-bit or 64-bit. It'll work with both. Just find the version you have and download it, then burn it (Not copy) to a DVD.

I have windows 7 32 bit but where do I find this key?

should be on the disc case, it has to be a copy you bought separately and not an upgrade disc, if this is the disc that came with another computer or something then it is almost definitely useless.

But I didn't get any diskcase when I bought my laptop

so it is the disk that came with your laptop which means it isn't usable wih this computer, you might be able to call microsoft and BS some story to get a new key to use with it but you probs should just buy another one cuz then i believe they will de-license your laptop or something
 
You don't need to type a serial during Windows installation but once Windows has been installed it will keep pestering you for a key.
 
You can still use Windows without a key, it will just keep on pestering you to buy one and come 30 days it will start putting messages on your screen asking you to buy a key (it will be a permanent message) and 60 minutes your desktop wallpaper will be removed, but you will still be able to use the OS. So yes, you can buy a key later if you have the money so long as you don't mind putting up with the annoyances.
 
Ok then I will make a bootable disc but how big are those files, which cd do I need to make a bootable disc?
 
You need a DVD, they're like 3GB ISO files. You don't need to download all of those files, only the one you need, probably Home Premium x64.

You need to burn the ISO to the DVD using something like Nero in case you didn't know.
 
Alright man thanks, il check some guids on youtube.
thanks very much :) Just one question, will my AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE, sAM3 3,4ghz and Sapphire Radeon HD6670,1GB will be enough to play bf3 on atleast medium setting 30+ fps?
