Post subject:  Double checking: Installing a new harddrive +OS
So. I have purchased a WD Black 1TB to replace my current dying HDD's. One day I will buy an SSD but not today. Not this year. Maybe christmas, who knows. ANYWAY.

I am looking for somebody to correct or validate my next steps. I want to make sure that I am doing it in the right order since last OS install I had no computer for 1 month because I went full retard. Never go full retard.

Step 1: Buy a USB stick of 32GB.
Step 2: Format USB to FAT32.
Step 3: Create a bootable USB with Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool
Step 4: Shut down PC. Disconnect and drain power. Remove old HDD's.
Step 5: Install new HDD.
Step 6: Boot up computer. Put Bootable Windows 7 USB stick in. Restart PC. Boot using USB.
Step 7: Install windows 7.
Step 8: Ninite.com. Spoiler is list of all programs I should install.
SpoilerShow
Chrome
Steam
WinRAR
VLC
Java 8
TeamViewer 11
Bit Defender(not actually available on Ninite)\
SUPERAntiSpyware
Malwarebytes
qBittorent
Step 9: Other programs from various sites to install. Spoiler is a list of all programs I should install.
SpoilerShow
Mumble + TS + Vent
Photoshop CS6
Popcorn Time Community
OBS
MSI Afterburner
CPUID HWMonitor
Uplay (ugh)
Origin (ugh)
HLSW
Battle.net
CEVO Client
Driver Booster (is this sufficient to download all my drivers with? It's what I've been using to check for updates)
Step 10: Profit.

+ or - steps please.
