Yes.

for your first start up and installation of windows.

DVD drive first.

SSD second.

then once its all installed and running, go back into the bios and make the SSD first and disable all other boot devices, this will speed up the boot up time.

No, just SSD, disable the other boot up device options, the pc will look straight to the SSD, ignore all other devices, and will boot up quicker.

And, before I forget, set the SATA controller to AHCI

stupid questions but how do you get in the bios i thought you press F8 but that just takes me to an option to have save mode?

press DELETE

And, the AHCI mode should have been enabled before you did the install.

TRIM support for the SSD may not be working otherwise I think.
