I was curious about setting up Windows on a flash drive I've seen in videos, but they weren't very clear. Do I need to purchase Windows 8 or should I go with an actual copy of Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Performance Full Tower Case CC-9011035-WW, Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX, Intel Core BX80646I74790K i7-4790K processor, Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3, Samsung SSD, WD hard drive, and the power supply listed?

You must purchase an authentic Windows copy—either through an online key or in person at a store. If you choose the online option, you can obtain an image of Windows 8.1 from various websites.

Don't consider that PSU, it performs poorly relative to what's available.

Use the Windows Media Creation Tool. Simply connect your USB drive and follow the instructions. A key is required for setup.

I wouldn't be interested in that PSU unless you're not overclocking.
