Hi everyone,
Thank you for your support! All the components have been ordered.
One more thing—someone mentioned I could purchase Windows 11 here:
https://shop.pcworld.com/sales/microsoft...s-11-pro-7
The price seems quite high, but it appears to come from a reputable source. Anyone have advice on whether it’s a good idea to buy it from there?

Thank you for your feedback. It seems the same card is linked to my build, and I purchased it at the local Micro Center for $720. The main question is about obtaining a Win 11 license. Someone mentioned an option here: https://shop.pcworld.com/sales/microsoft...s-11-pro-7. The price there seems high, but it appears to be from a reputable store. Anyone have advice on whether it’s worth buying it?
there are many websites offering licenses at similar prices, so i shouldn't be too concerned.
i purchase licenses from kinguin – i've been doing this for years.
i typically use paysafe cards as a payment method, and the code is sent to my email within minutes after payment.
the license has always functioned properly for me so far.
i haven't encountered any problems with their product keys, whether for software or video games.
