spent way too much money on this computer. (First Mac)
Took it out of the box, booted it up, black screen with that circle with the line through it. Tried the cmd R. Selected to reboot Hogh Sierra. Then it told me which drove to use, but there was no option to pick one... wth?

Sounds like a drive failure. Can happen to anyone, any computer, anytime. Not sure what the big mystery is for you about what to do. As the others have said -- return it.
