Return it immediately.
i7-860 - The very first generation of quad-core = should cost you no more than $100, and that's new, in box.
And that graphics card for spending $2000?
RETURN. You can get WAY more (and current, for Christ's sake) components for LESS than $2000. Understand I'm not bashing you or your decision to purchase this machine. I just can't let this happen to you, man. For that money, you deserve WAY more.

Well I'm glad you took it the right way :)
Where do you live? If in the GTA, I'd be glad to help you out. You can even get most stuff from brick and mortar stores, so you won't have to wait a long time to build. Hell, I'll build it and give you a copy of Windows 7 too!
Just to give you a very quick idea, here's my rig (prices are approximately to what I paid - I have not checked updated prices, but chances are, they're even cheaper.).
Intel i5-3570K (latest-gen quad-core): $150
Asus can't-f'n-remember-model, good board: $180
Case: I'd recommend Cooler Master HAF X: $169
RAM: 4GB DDR3 something half-decent speed: $50 (this is a high estimate, just to be safe)
Blu-Ray/Dual-Layer/DVD Burner/Reader: $79
700W SLI/X-Fire ready PSU: $150-ish (PSU will vary the most, pending sales, I've found)
MSI GTX 670 TwinFrozr (I run BF3 maxed out, at 49C, no mods lol): $408 after tax
120GB SSD: $99 (up to you to get bigger, etc.) For storage, use your current, non-SSD drives.
All of this, added up: $1452.05 TAX IN. Again, this is just a rough estimate, and some of the prices above are, in fact, what I paid. Also, you may not want/need a blu-ray/everything-else burner/reader. All I mean to point out is that for less than what you paid, you could build an absolute monster that will rock every game currently available, and rock whatever is coming out.

The good: Unique design; front-accessible hard drives.
The bad: Subpar performance compared with more affordable mainstream gaming PCs; underfeatured for its price; limited external connectivity options.
The bottom line: Even if we hadn't seen faster PCs for less this holiday season, we'd still take issue with the value proposition of the Acer Aspire Predator G5900-U3092. With few extra features or connectivity options to justify its $1,349 price tag, this PC trades primarily on its unique design--a poor substitute for useful functionality

No shit, I work right there. I've got an NCIX and a TigerDirect near by. Lemme know if I could help in any way. Use your friend wisely, and ask us questions if you want (for good parts/deals etc.).
It will take you a day or two to get all of your parts but it will be SO worth it, and you'll save some money while having a current-day really fast computer.

Phew. Build help. I thought it was Brades paging me to buy another game that he would bail from.

What games have I bailed from? WarZ? Pretty sure we all got play'd out of that at the same time. CSGO? Pretty sure hardly any TD members enjoy that garbage. BF3? Pretty sure you, lb, leroy, 47, and the other bro's all stopped playing at the same time as me.
warz, dayz, star wars, wow, tf2, csgo and other shit... people feel free to add to this list ;D
