OS for new build

Ok I am going to order my parts tomorrow. I am trying to see where I want to cut some cost at if I want. I was planning on getting the oem win 7 ultimate. Is ultimate really worth it or would i be happy with less? Basically using for games and editing home movies of my son. Money isn't a problem just not sure if its necessary.

Thanks,

CHris

It depends on what he wants to do with Windows 7.

Here are the differences...

Given what you say, I would think that he needs no more than Windows 7 Premium.
