You can download the OS from MS, and buy the key from them. I did that to get Win7 Ultimate for Omega. I also ordered the DVD as a backup, which arrived perhaps a week later. MS should have pretty complete instructions on their site for doing this.

What CPU will you be using? That board is known for VRM problems, so be careful about any overclocking (I wouldn't OC a FX-8xxx on it).
When you download the image, I'd save it somewhere, probably to a DVD so you can make it part of your permanent install set for its target PC.
