Great build! AMD CPU's are amazing for multicore gaming.
My only complaint is Windows 8.1 but you probably wouldn't use it...I'm glad Windows 7 Pro comes with DLNA support. It's funny Windows 7 and PS3 work nicely, and Windows 8.1 and PS4 have de-evolved in this regard.

I have just confirmed that the DLNA streaming feature is not supported in Windows 8.1.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

But I don't gain anything from having Win 7 over Win 8.1 do I? I just bought what seemed like the default option (my last OS was Win XP). So far I'm ignoring the Metro interface although it actually is pretty slick.

No not for you unless you like being able to stream any video file on your PC to say a PS3 or Sony Blu Ray player wirelessly and simply. I love that option, saves me from burning discs.

To be honest you could do that with Windows XP via TVersity, heck you could do it with Windows 2000.
In-fact I used to do that with the origional Xbox.
However, for HD content it requires a significant amount of processing time to pull off, not much of an issue for a decent PC.
I often Transcode on the fly to my Xbox 360, Playstation 3 (In fact, it's mostly used for that task and Blu-rays), phones, tablets, HTPC etc, sometimes all at the same time, having 12 threads on my CPU greatly helps in that regard though.
Windows 7 is probably the more preffered OS for allot of users, although Windows 8.1 is fantastic in terms of boot times and responsiveness, especially if you only have a mechanical drive, does require some re-learning however.
