Well, I'm not sure to be honest. The disc drive should read as it is cable connected although you may need to borrow a wired keyboard. If it doesn't detect the drive, it is no issue, just turn the power back off (power button will power it off as normal) and then you may need an internal drive or port the OS to a USB flash drive.

You'll need to change to boot priority either way to recognise the drive with the OS install file first.

Hope some of this helps

Your wireless keyboard and mouse should work fine. My wireless mouse worked fine with my first install.

I don't think there's any problem using a USB drive to install your OS. You will just have to make sure in your BIOS that it's set as your boot drive, then change that to your hard drive once you've installed it.

No worries!

As the guy above me said, it should work fine. If it doesn't I guess just use a wired one.

And your system looks nice. But why do you have a 630 in there? That's an extremely weak GPU.
