I totally get it.
You may want to wait the rest of this week -- because Newegg says "OUT OF STOCK. ETA: 3/9/2017" (Amazon, where mine is ordered since the morning of February 22, is non-committal).
I had not expected to get my Ryzen 1800X CPU until after the 7th; but got it on the 3d -- makes me a bit impatient -- but, I'm committed to waiting because I think the wait will be worth it. I do expect to have to "reflash" the BIOS at some point (based on what I've read). Intel stuff should be "good to go" right from the box.
