I'm getting ready to start building my new rig, and I was just wondering if it was possible to install an OS (specifically Windows 7, but this applies to Windows 8 as well) with a USB without the drivers being installed?

If your motherboard supports booting from USB, you should be fine.

Watch out for USB3 ports, if your mobo has them. You need to boot off USB2 ports or you will be stuck without supplying drivers for the chipeset for the setup to see the files on your USB stick.
