no do more research

"Kinguin Buyer Protection.... 30 Day Money Back Guarantee"..

"Customers can come and shop for digital product codes on their websites, not unlike an eBay for video games. But also like eBay, the merchandise up for sale is not being sold by these companies. G2A and Kinguin merely facilitate the transaction by moving money back and forth and offering up technical support where they are able."

This website is no less legal than say eBay. Sure only buying the key for windows isn't legal, but same goes for say jaywalking in NYC, and going over the speed limit, people still do it. eBay, Amazon (to a lesser extent), G2A, Kinguin are just marketplaces that charge for virtual "stalls" to sell things. Just get a reputable seller and you should be alright.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

You would be better off going with a GTX 1080 and G-Sync Monitor rather than trying to squeeze a 1080 ti in there. Most of the monitors specced so far have been Freesync which doesn't make much sense with an Nvidia gpu as you won't get the variable refresh rate.

 

This has a GTX 1080 and  27" 1440p G-Sync monitor. A 1080 will still do great at 1440p.
