Any opinions on this gaming PC from walmart?

http://www.walmart.com/ip/34643909

If anyone can help build a gaming PC around that $500 price range or less and possibly including an OS (windows 7) would be great. Looking to run CS:GO and stream Netflix.

It's a good start.The GPU isn't the best,but it is plenty for CS:GO. ;)

It has a pretty weak GPU. I do like their keyboards and mice though. Will you need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse?

The advantages over the Cyberpower PC is USB 3.0, much faster ram, better GPU, and a better PSU. The cases are both pretty comparable, HDD are probably identical, same CPU and both have windows 8.1.

Now that being said, I would definitely try and save a little more money and go with a $600 build. LukaBoki has a nice one listed. I will try to give you my take on a $600 rig.
