Will this Windows Version work for a build I'm making with no optical drive?

Hello, this is my first post on this forum so I hope that I have posted this in the right section. Anyway, I have a mac and am planning to build my very first computer. I'm buying a lot of the parts today as there are some sales that I would like to take advantage of. The thing is, however, my build has no optical drive and I don't know how I'm going to manage to download windows onto it. This is the website I want to buy my windows version from:

If I were to buy this today, how would I be able to install Windows 8.1 onto my build using a mac? If this isn't possible, do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Erick

Thanks for replying. Luckily I do have a computer with a drive, so I should be fine then. Thanks again.
