Microsoft does not really say what they do if you don't activate. As far as I can tell the software just starts to nag you to death. I don't think they would do much more than that for legal reasons.

it doesnt shut off tho. ive been on my pc for 10 hours lol.... NOT THE WHOLE TEN HOURS but my pc has been running no shut downs for gaming...

Your current Windows installation is unactivated. Whenever it decides to start screwing with you, it will.
Your only option is to buy a valid Windows 8 license.

Buying from a valid, major retailer, yes. That will work.

It should work as long as the key you buy is a retail key and matches the version you have installed.
that is, windows 8.x core or windows 8.x pro.

Windows 8.x OEM keys are a activated by a different 2 step process
