Given that I am happy with windows 7 on a desktop pc primarily used for gaming, should I upgrade and if so why?

For gaming, DirectX 12 would be the main draw. But there probably isn't much reason for you to upgrade right now, especially not seeing some people still have trouble with graphics drivers.
Yeah, my gut feel was to upgrade whenever they do the equivalent of the SP1/8.1 release - 6 months down the track or so.
Thanks.
