Considering your goal of building a gaming PC, Windows offers strong performance and compatibility with most hardware. If budget matters, Ubuntu or OS X could be better options, but they may require more setup or have limitations for gaming.

Reject this idea. A more affordable version is available on legal platforms such as http://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap

It depends on your goals and the effort you're willing to invest. Some applications run smoothly in Ubuntu via WINE, though it has limitations. For me, it's essential. I rely on MS-Office for schoolwork and don’t find a free alternative that performs well. Gaming is another area where caution is needed. I’ve used Zorin OS (Ubuntu) for three years but still occasionally switched back to Windows XP. I don’t consider Ubuntu inferior, but having a Windows machine provides flexibility.
