So I got my new rig in the mail today. I have everything I need except for windows 7 which will come in a few days. Is there a windows 7 trial that I could install and then just type in my activation key when it arrives? Thanks for the help in advance!

As stated you can just download Windows online and it will remain for 30 days. By then you should have been gotten your key which you can actually use to activate the copy you downloaded online, as the keys aren't tied to the discs.

You can download the exact version of Windows you have purchased from http://www.w7forums.com/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads-t12325.html

It must be the exact version (i.e. Windows 7 home premium 64-bit). You can create a bootable USB stick or DVD from the ISO. When you install, skip activation until you get your genuine copy of Windows - when it arrives (it must be less than 30 days), active it with the code included with the software.
