Hi
Moonlight
This may be to much of a hassle for you but if you want to save a bit of cash you could do a free upgrade on your old system from W7 to W10
The GWX Upgrade Tool Control Panel ended in 2016 but the tools themselves still work and you would still end up with a Valid Digital License
You would need to be quick as MS are stopping that too, I'm not sure when
You could then clone the OS to your new PC ( there are a few ways of doing that ). I've not tried it myself but it should work in theory.
I'm assuming that having a ASUS LGA 1151 STRIX Z270E GAMING Intel Z270 ATX Motherboard you are using new build for Gaming. you don't mention a dedicated GPU in your list . What do you intend to use?
There are also other much cheaper options for your MB and still have a Z270 Chipset or even the new Z370 So called "Gaming" motherboards offer really poor bang per buck compared to other components. Unless you want flashing LEDs and slots for 4 GPUs
I personally think investing in decent GPU, PSU , RAM or to a lesser degree an SSD or Case Fans is a wise choice, Building a new system is all about spending your hard earned cash on right components at the right cost
