    "Setup is Preparing Your Computer for First Use" Repeating after successful install

    I downloaded an ISO from https://www.dropbox.com/s/fug5x9i5iln9kyi/en_windows_7_home_basic_x86_dvd_x15-65654.iso?dl=0 and formatted it onto the USB via Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool. Thanks for the link, I'll try it out in the morning.

    In addition, could I ask what wireless network card you would recommend using with this setup? Edit: I have Virgin Broadband at 50mbps but it's not really possible to run cables from the router to the pc.

    Afternoon, I'm looking to build for the first time and after some research have developed the below configuration. However I am presuming that this would all work together.
