    Vinny, before you open that box, here are a few things to consider. The link you showed indicated an I7-7700 (not the I7-8700K). I don't believe it's the unlocked "K Series" either which would prohibit overclocking (which I know you like to do). The link also suggests this is air cooled (not liquid). Another thing to consider is that the GTX 1180s are due to release in the June/July timeframe. If you only need a CPU, motherboard, and DDR4 RAM you can probably get the I7-8700K, brand name motherboard, and 32gb DDR4 for around $1000. Did you check out PCPartPicker.com to price out a build? BTW, I think Dixie got a Cyberpower PC (with a GTX 1080 TI) at BestBuy a few months ago for around the same price (~$1800 on sale). Hop on TS sometime if you want to discuss this further.
