First of all, I was referred here through Reddit after I had made this thread :https://redd.it/4322e5. Idk if I'm allowed to link Reddit, but that thread has all the information of what I've tried and where I'm at.

These are the screens I'm currently getting : http://imgur.com/a/UpWfa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first build and I'm really anxious to get it working / worried I may have made a big mistake.
 
Solution
Make sure all cables are plugged in properly, especially the sata and power cables for your drives. Based on the error being displayed, you could have a bad HDD, or optical drive.

I was able to select the HD to install Windows and I was able to boot off of the CD originally. How can I be sure if either the hard drive or optical drive are faulty? When I get home from work I'll triple check the cords. I guess I may have to take it in to a repair shop =/
