Windows? Always go for the latest version for regular security updates and bugfixes. So just grab Windows 10, you can disable automatic updates if you don't like it and do the updates whenever you want.

Buy windows 10. You can set your wifi/broadband to Metered connection and it wont start downloading updates automatically. Windows 10 Pro and above users get option to disable auto updates but it costs a little more than Windows 10 Home.

idk if Q9650 supports DX12 or not(mostly dont think so) but you can still install it if your M/B has supported drivers.
Ram and HDD are enough.

If you get infected with viruses, it's because you're downloading infected shit... Nothing to do with the operating system.
(Windows 10 will give you most runtimes, but it will make you feel slow, where as if you had windows 7 with all the drivers if available, it'll likely be better. Windows 10 is probably best, but you should also purchase it so you don't infect yourself with shit again trying to get yourself setup)
