Hi guys. I just finished ordering the parts for my first computer. Anyways I didn't get an optical drive yet so I was wondering if there is anywhere I can buy a downloadable version and put it on a usb to install the os on my computer. Probably going to want an oem version of windows 7 home. Any advice would be appreciated.

That's what I did, install through a flash drive. Here are the links.

You can download the ISO here

But you will still need a key. What I usually do is buy the key with a disc, then just use the downloaded iso to install from usb(http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool).
If you get the system assembled before it arrives you can still install the os and just wait to activate untill the key arrives as you can use the OS for 30 days before you are required to activate.

That first link is to the MS tool to create a USB or DVD installation. That works.
The second two are nothing that I would actually buy from.
Purchase whatever Windows version you want
Download the relevant version here:

Use the MS USB tool to write to a USB drive
Install on your new machine.
