Do you have any existing SATA based DVD drive lying around? You'll need that for Windows 7 installation.

Thanks for the above recommendation. I dont have existing SATA based DVD drive so i'll just buy one to install on the rig. Just a quick question, is it worthwhile to go for Skylake or i should opt for Haswell for substantial savings over performance gain? I intend to buy the rig for usage around 3-4 years and get another new rig thereafter. Will be waiting for Black Friday or Lazada 12/12 to get the parts.

Have to check availability of gaming red and black Haswell motherboard first... I'd still say worth it.
