While I wait for a replacement mobo considering I blew the last one up with my own stupidity can I install windows 8 on my hard drive now and get everything ready or should I just really wait so I don't deal with unnecessary drivers and trying to install all the new ones?
 
Solution
Just wait.
The OS needs to be installed on the system where it will live.

Installing it on System A, and then moving that drive to System B will result in tears.
