I'm an Intel / NVidia man myself, so I won't comment on the CPU / GPU

I will say that you will be FAR better served by getting a SSD though. A 120GB Kingston SSD can be had for like $41 and then you can get a whatever-sized HDD for bulk data storage.

Also if you already have a Windows 7 license, I would suggest you try and do the free upgrade anyway. I got a spare Win10 license after the end date by doing it and I'd be surprised if it didn't still work.
