I'd get Windows 8, because it runs games 5-25% faster (depending on hardware, and this hardware will push it all the way up until the 25% part, maybe even more)
Here is the ~$5000 build you wanted. Is it overkill? Yes, it is. Do you need it? No you could get one that'll do just fine for cheaper, but if you have 5k laying around, then why not?

Before people start spamming WHY WOULD U SPEND 5k on a PC. Let me explain I've been saving up for 2 years to buy a pc. My current pc is crap.
