Edit: Last question of the day about OS system.
Also, please explain to me what OS systems do exactly, and their benefits.
Btw, I love this thread so much, it's just warming to see there are decent people out there who are willing to give any help they can. And, trust me, even the tiniest of things are helping me out more and more :D

So what's the difference between Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7? And I know what 32 Bit and 64 Bit do, I'll most likely get 64 bit.

Using 4gb of RAM or more?(as you are), get Win7 64bit, nothing else to it.

Linux is more secure than Windows but has less games for it.
Mac OS is mainly for a mac as you guess. The only real benefit is being if you install Windows for fast Windows.
Windows has the most compatibility but is also the most prone to attacks.

That's about my budget for a gaming PC and that's one that I found might be pretty good, I would love to hear all of your opinions and thoughts on it. Also, one more question: If any of you know a good in depth video on how to put PC parts together for noobs like me, I'd love to see it!
~ Thanks a million <3
EDIT 4/28/2013: Thanks for all of the info, I'll definitely be Bookmarking this thread. Also my budget is around the $700-$900 range, I'd rather stay near $700-$800, but if spending a little extra means a lot better computer, I'm fine with that. Also, I'm planning on building this sometime during June-August.
EDIT 4/29/2013: Another question: What software is a must have to install when booting up the PC? Besides the OS of course.
EDIT 4/29/2013: Yet another question: I think there were some brief things posted about this, but, what monitors do you suggest getting? Also at first I wasn't going to buy a Monitor right away, I was just going to use my mini 19 inch flat screen TV for the monitor just at first so I can get a better monitor. (Will that work? Using my TV as a monitor.) Also, I would love some suggestions on keyboards as well, I already have a mouse I can use.
EDIT 4/29/2013: Last question for the day >_>. (It's better to ask now rather than forget to ask.) I seriously think someone said something about this, but I'm too lazy to look for it now, because I'm just about to go to bed. What OS system should I use, and what is the EXACT name for it. Let's say you recommend Windows 7, would it be like Home Premium or how ever many freaking different types there are of it? xD. Sorry, Hopefully I'm not annoying anyone. Appreciate all of the help I've had so far :)
