Installing Pygame on 64bit Windows with Python 3.4

I've downloaded the pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl file and attempted to install it by doing the following:

  1. Place in same directory as command prompt's default (C:\Users\NAME)
  2. Type pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl in cmd
  3. It throws the error pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I've heard that you have to install the 32-bit version of Python to install Pygame, but that seems like a huge pain and I'd rather not have more headaches after hours of attempting to install Pygame.

I have 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro and Python 3.4.3. How can I install Pygame?
