Most legit would be to buy one,or at least a key and download an official copy.

You will need to tweak the settings in BIOS. It will just run at lower speed if you don't tweak it.

You don't have to do that,as i said will it start at probably 1600mhz,maybe 1333mhz,but it will run.It should anyway.To get to 1866 you would have to change things,but the system would/should start with that ram,just not at that rated speed.

Even that 2400mhz ram would work,it only would work on a lower speed,first the spd speed and maybe you could set it manually higher.See how far a bit of overclocking on the ram would do.According to the specs (motherboard) would 2000mhz (o.c.) be possible.
The cpu will need to support that too btw,the memory controller might (and probably will) become a limit too.Just get what's priced right.

Great. You can get a 1866MHz RAM. Don't forget about the shipping price though. And the 970 Chipset may require a BIOS update. Which isn't bad though and there are tutorials to assist you out.

A fine choice too and has those sata 3 ports so a maybe added ssd wouldn't be bottleneckt.Also has some overclocking capabilities.
