If you truly can't afford to pay for it, go learn to use Linux.
And as for software he has on his existing computer, why yes it would be rather foolish to buy it all again. But your operating system sadly doesn't readily migrate. So save yourself some headache and spend the 89.99 on the operating system to get a full warranty, and not have to worry about M$ blacklisting the serial your using.

I tend to choose the one with the most "numbers that are green" and has the most comments and actually read them. And right afterward immediately install virus-protection. Unless you choose a bad copy which only like 50 people are "sharing", then thats when the factor of your system getting fucked up comes in.
It's fine by me aslong as my hardware will support it, its a trusted copy picked by the site, and if the 400+ comments state so otherwise.
Actually, you just gotta take a good chance. But if you get a bad "copy". Then you can do what I did multipal times before, get a system restore backup from another store bought computer and use that. I never had any problems installing an OS backup that's only meant for my old, shitty, gateway laptop to my hard-drive a good 3 years back. So I guess you can resort to that method if you dont wanna buy anything.

If you are spending over 1000 dollars on a computer, just don't be a cheap piece of crap and spend the 80 dollars on a new operating system. Then you don't have to pick the one with the most "green" comments.
If you are that cheap, go get Linux instead.

Your HDD performance has nothing to do with how many FPS you would get in-game, as all of the data is loaded into your ram. The only effect a slow HDD has on you is your load times tend to be longer. So as in-game performance goes, his GPU is the bottleneck of his system.

I've seen a lot of virus torrents with over 100 seeders. So that isn't exactly the most surefire way to select them.
At any-rate, this is not the topic to be discussing things like this, on-top of that this is against the rules of the forum. So if you guys have any legitimate suggestions for malaki's computer, let them be known. But if your only suggestion is OMG GO PIRATE THAT INSTEAD ITS MORE WIN. Then please don't bother, as discussions of that nature are against the rules of the forum.

C: Even better than both, put it into a better CPU cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106150&cm_re=35-106-_-35-106-150-_-Product and the previously mentioned upgraded video card.
