I'm really surprised that you have built a PC and you don't know how to get the OS :|

my budget was about $700, i spent more then what i wanted to and didnt have enought for the OS. i just need something to use until i get the OS

Rojo wrote Linux is free but you might not like it because you're used to Windows. Linux runs much faster, lightweight, and cool. Also, you don't need a good PC to run Linux.

I suggest Ubuntu 12.04

does anyone know if this is a good OS? and i think my pc can only use windows 7 or 8

I have never heard or seen anybody use Linux!

Personally, I would wait until I can afford Windows 7.

Dude, save you penny's and get windows 7!

You can do it completely legally through the use of digital river windows 7. These are official download links for windows 7. 7 will be running in a free trial for 120 days. If you don't want to deal with a trial, you'll have to install a slightly illegal windows 7 bootloader, which I am not inclined (nor will anyone else) to link you to.

i dont have the trial and my new built pc doesnt have any OS on it, how would i be able to get one until i get the disc of Windows 7? like how would i go about doing it

When you buy a new computer I thought you get an option of getting windows 7 or windows 8 starter edition? But I may be wrong!.!.!
