Okay, so I was looking through all of the parts, but including taxes I have to downgrade a bit, what I need to make sure of is that all the parts are compatible. 
I know I will be reading get cheaper windows, I am not buying on my account so I need to get it from Amazon. Anyway, please help to to figure out if all of these parts are compatible with zero issues, please.

But you still need a key ;) or if you want, during the installation process you can just skip the part with the key and use windows but you wont be able change some personalization settings

Its a program from microsoft website that just makes an installer on a usb drive so you can install windows from it but during the process it asks for a product key which you need to buy or electronically get

I think you don't 100% understand the process.

 

The windows media creation tool is created by microsoft. Microsoft lets you install a free copy of windows 10 for, well, free. However, you need to input a windows 10 product key into the OS to get it activated. However, if you want, you can just run windows without entering a product key; all that will happen is you can't customize some things and you'll have a watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (which can be removed with a bit of hacking).

 

All you would need is a flash drive 8gb or bigger and a computer to download it off of

Yes, everything is compatible.

You could save like $5 with this PSU. Up to you

You don't need to. The stock cooler is fine. A cooler better than the stock would cost at least $30 at which point you'd be better off spending the money on an r5 2600

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
