First off, all my parts just came on, and I'm having an issue with my case and mother board. My case did not come with any screws and neither did my mother board, how is my mobo suppose to be held down?

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353034

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157508

Second question. I just got windows 8 from a site called dreamspark, and this is what it looks like when I downloaded it,

Now I need to put my OS on a usb drive for installation, but I have no idea about how to do it.

You are looking at the content of an ISO file, ignore that, what you need to do is burn that iso image AS AN IMAGE FILE to a DVD or else to a USB stick.

As for the screws be sure there isn't a package of them hidden in the box someplace. If not, you'll need to get some motherboard screws online.

In Windows right click on the iso file itself (not what you are looking at in Winrar) and choose 'burn image'.

Just saw you want to use USB, go here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/a/install-windows-7-usb.htm

1.) Purchase a screw kit from an online retailer, or an electronic store near you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GD9K1C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009GD9K1C&linkCode=as2&tag=steam08-20&linkId=J67XNH63PXF7RPH3

2.) Creating a bootable USB Drive is not too difficult, but if you have a DVD drive, why not just burn the iso to a DVD and install that way? Here is a guide to making a bootable USB drive. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm

What type of screws exactly do I need? I could possibly go to nearby stores asking for them, else I'd have to wait 5 days for newegg to send them.

My disk drive broke, so I cant use it, which is why I'm trying to put it onto a USB drive. I don't know how to make what I downloaded into an ISO because all guides say I need a CD.
