Hi,

So I finish building my pc, I turned on the pc and it loads up "reboot and select proper boot device". I aldready went into the bios choose which drive to boot first. How do I continue? I don't have a optical drive for the cd.

What type of drive do you want it to boot to?

And do you have an OS installed on it?

You need the optical drive so you can boot from that and install it on one of your HDD/SSD.

I currently only have 1 drive which is a 1tb barracuda. I just made my pc and wanting to install windows 

Get a flashdrive, download Rufus tool and a windows 10iso from getintopc.com, Use the tool on another pc to make a bootable thumb drive, plug it in to your pc, and select boot from usb then install windows on the hdd. If you need help booting or installing windows message me.
