That's actually a pretty good deal

Absolutely not. These things are utter trash. The build quality is not there for the price they are asking. Sure the case looks cool, but that ram is too slow. Id rather it have 16 gigs with faster ram. Walmart uses CHEAP motherboards too. Checkout some videos on youtube about these things. There was one video where they apparently use hot glue to help secure all the connections on the board, and they have even found parts not plugged in on arrival.

For the price point and hardware in it, its not to crazy. BUT they went cheap on the most important part and thats the build quality inside these. But this is also for the people who don't know crap and just want to get a computer to game on.

oh wow..thanks for sharing ....very informative cause I too was thinking it was a good deal...I guess the old saying applies."everything isn't always what it seems"

Like they all said, "it's too good to be true".

Hmmm, I think I would go with this one instead. Same price. Better GPU, same CPU, less RAM and hard drive space though.
