If you have a spare pc or laptop with windows 7(upgrade it to windows 10) , 8, or 10 on there, go take the cd key from it. Windows 8 and 10 have transferable cd keys. you'll save yourself $140. Use that money for a motherboard. There's no price on it.

Got three issues:
1. Twin CPU coolers, you only need one.
2. H97 won't overclock that 4790K. Get Z97 at least.
3. PSU is junk for your needs, buy a EVGA, Antec, Seasonic, or XFX counterpart.

go download a windows cd key finder. Once you get the key. Go to change product key to test if it accepts it or not. If the pc accepts it, it works. If not, look for another cd key finder
