New CPU/MOBO won't boot with GPU installed

So I just purchased a i7 8700k and a EVGA z370 tfw and for some reason it refuses to boot with the GPU installed. My 1080 TI works with my z170 board no problem but now this refuses. It's not a power issue as I can remove the card, boot the system and install it and force it to use the GPU but it'll never get past the bios doing this and it's not exactly a convenient manner to use my PC. I tried changing the cables, triple checking the plugs, the board worked at the store so I'm not sure why it won't now. Any thoughts?

Go ahead and ask EVGA whats wrong with their board though. There might be a primary display option to set pci-e/igpu in your bios.

That's the problem, this is the third board today. I returned the first one for the same issue, the second one had bent pins that we discovered while still in the store and this is the third one. They tested it in the store and it worked so I'm totally lost as to where to go from here. I genuinely like this board and it's design but it's currently totally unusable.
