I have no OS, but I do have a bootable windows 7 USB. Can someone tell me how to install it?

Just as the title says. I created the bootable USB from my mac. I have recently ordered my new PC parts, and I was wondering how I can install windows 7 without an OS?

I am sorry for not having much knowledge. This is my first PC build.

you can go into the boot menu on your computer at startup and choose boot from external device (usb).insert the usb and restart.once at the install screen its pretty straight forward from there.as long as its a legit copy and is only installed on one computer you should be ok.

How can I get into the boot menu?
Do I need to press something like "F12" or something like that?

Enter the bios and set the usb drive as the first boot device. Also you should return that psu and buy a better one, by using that coolmax ypu are putting your system at risk of catastrophic failure That could leave you with a smoldering brick. The motherboard is also a potential issue as the weak vrms are known to cause the cpu to throttle under load.

Thanks!
Also about the PSU, I changed it to an EVGA 80+ 500W. Is that still the same?

It's better but still not very good especially with a 280X. For a 280x I reccomend atleast a good 550w psu especially with a 125w cpu.

I'm not planning on overclocking, would that make a difference?
