I am going to be buidlign my first pc. And was told that I could get the OS from the Microsoft dreamspark thing. But on the terms of dreamspark it says
c. Using Windows Desktop Operating Systems.
Your DreamSpark Direct Subscription includes certain Windows operating system products. You may install these products only on a computer that is already licensed to run a full version of a Windows operating system on it, as evidenced by a valid Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for a Windows operating system affixed to the computer.

So does this mean that it will not work on a custom build?

You cannot legally install the OS on a new system, it's meant for installing on a virtual machine or your personal (already licensed) physical machine.

Microsoft does offer student discounts for OSes, usually ~$30-50 for the Pro version, so talk to your university about options.
