You're looking to run Windows on your PC built around a 5820K processor and a GTX 980 graphics card. Considering an x86 version might be a good fit for compatibility and performance.

You have the option, though it seems foolish. You've already used up more than what makes sense on one GPU, don't you think? Wouldn't it be better to save some money on the operating system instead?

Choose the x64 version for handling more than 3.75 GB of RAM. If you plan to use this system, expect a minimum of 8 GB of memory installed. Using the x86 flavor will limit your performance because it can't fully utilize all the available resources.
