All,
First thank you for taking your time to read this. Any help is greatly appricated. I currently am building a computer for myself. Without getting too in depth I have a ASUS P8Z77-v pro motherboard, 16 GB of ram, EVGA geforce gtx 560, and a 320 GB hard drive that will get changed out for a SSD. I will be picking up a Intel I5 3579K in another week. I was planning on running windows 7 but wont be able to pick it up for another month. With that being said can I download ubuntu to a disk and use it for my OS without having windows or another OS? I have never used another OS before and not sure how it will work with my current set-up that I have. Not sure if I can download the new drivers or not with it. If I can use it I may not even bother going to windows. The computer will be used mainly for searching the web, youtube from time to time and college work. May play a game from time to time but I dont have any computer games at the moment so the computer will be over kill for what I'm doing with it. Thanks.
