EDIT: Sorry pics aren't just on the forum, don't know how, sorry :/
[Sorry for bad cable management btw xD]
When I boot up my PC (first build, built yesterday), I see the MSI Click BIOS 4 (got an MSI Z97 PC Mate MoBo), everything is fine. I want to install windows 8.1 (maybe upgrade to 10 in future) and i have it on disk (I don't have an optical drive cos the one I got doesn't work, so I'm getting another today). The problem is, when i go to the boot order, it comes up with just this:

And when I click on say the 'Hard disk' option, it just has the other options again like this:

This is somewhat of a problem because I intend to install windows to my SSD. I have both my SSD and HDD powered and connected to the mobo via SATA 1 (SSD) & 2 (HDD):

As you can see, my Mobo acknowledges that the HDD and SSD are connected:

Also, there are no options below the boot order options to do stuff such as choose which hard disk to boot to:

What do I do, have I not installed some parts or wires correctly? Will I not be able to use my new PC? I have no clue what is going on... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
BTW my specs are:
i5-4460
MSI Z97 PC Mate
EVGA 2gb GeForce GTX 960 SSC ACX 2.0+
16gb (2x8) Corsair Vengeance Pro (2400mhz) (Its at 2400mhz in my system, is that too much? It's at 1.632 V, too much? Enough? Not enough?)
1TB Western Digital Blue SATA 3 HDD (Goes in SATA 3 slot? I don't think so just checking)
128gb SanDisk X110 2.5" SSD
500W EVGA 500B Bronze PSU
I also got a 'ScanFX Hard Drive Cooler' for free but I don't think it will fit in my system, any suggestions?
