It will work, bit you'll have to install software later to control the LEDs

You would need to setup a key for it

There's no additional software require to boot your PC with a K70. Just turn your PC on and start using it!

 

Also, there's a BIOS switch on the K70 that allows you to use it much more easily in older motherboard BIOS. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2013/september/common-corsair-keyboard-questions

So , it will work normally. It wont need me to setup any keys or anything ( which ofcourse i wont be able to since the system will be new and need booting).

My other option was buying a cheap 10$ microsoft/logitech keyboard , booting it up , and then buying the k70...

That's correct. No additional setup required, simply flip the switch over to one of the BIOS modes and you're set!
