I built it, booted up the PC and all the fans worked, led lit up and it didn't blow up but on the screen it said "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".

You cannot boot without an OS. Get a windows cd and install that. Without an OS you have no core programming and therefore cannot install anything or really do anything. The OS is what makes sense of all the components and tells them what to do.

Thank you also for responding, your comment was well explained and helped me to understand as it was my first time building one.
