I posted a couple of days ago when I first started to get all the parts put together and making sure everything works. It does. Everything is registering and being recognized by the motherboard itself but the boot disk or boot usb is not. The closest I got was a black screen with the windows logo in the middle of it last night. This is the only thing I need to move forward with my first build.

These are the only three messages I've gotten during the process. The First two don't appear anymore.

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

8gb RAM

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93

120gb SSD

500gb HDD

GeForce GT 730

EVGA 500W PSU

I also have pictures of what the inside of the BIOS menu looks like.

Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks.

I have 3 options.

AHCI
IDE
RAID

The largest amount of success I've had has been when it was AHCI
With IED no change using either Native or Legacy
RAID had settings I didn't want to mess with.

The past 24 hours it has been AHCI. And yes the SSD is the boot drive.

I just disconnected it. It still goes to the same black screen with the blinking dash in the left corner. I've used this boot image before to install windows 7 as well as the usb on different computers.
