OK, get Windows 7 installed first and see which drivers it needs. Hopefully, you downloaded each driver and know which piece of hardware it goes to. You'll have run each "exe" and should install the driver on its own. If that does not happen, you have to point the driver to installer files (can walk you through that if it comes to that).
Don't worry on the wireless right now, you can get it installed without it. You'll need it for updates and I suggest installing Microsoft Security Essentials as an Anti Virus; it's free.
