Hi, I recently built a PC and decided to install windows through USB instead of an optical drive. However, no matter what boot order I make, or how I create a bootable drive, I can't seem to install windows. Here are my system specs:

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300

MOBO: ASRock 970M Pro3

RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws

HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda

Flash Drive: SanDisk Ultra 32Gb

I used a program called rufus to make my usb bootable, so that's what I suggest you do.

Or if you're not pirating you can just use Microsofts USB Tool

It's not pirating if you download an ISO from another website. It's pirating if you crack windows :)

I'm sure the people going out of their way to use third party tools definitely bought it and aren't going to crack it  :)

Well yes, most of them won't because cracked windows is the hardest thing to use and loses so many features.
