Do you think this comp is worth the price?
Or can I find a better deal?

Edit: So for obvious reasons i've decided to not get this comp.
Anyways i've picked some parts for a custom build tell me what I should change: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZWx9
Also if anyone knows a good graphics card for me to pick that can play a majority of games at around 60 fps please feel free to edit the list, current budget is $150.

The graphics card isn't very good at all but I suppose it's okay for the price. I would suggest trying to save a little more money and buy a better computer.

Well, let's take a look, shall we?

AMD FX-4300 3.8Ghz Processor - $105 is lowest price on Amazon.

8GB DDR3 SDRAM - No specifics, but we'll call it $75 for a decent stick set.

1TB SATA Hard Drive - I'm going to hope that they mean SATA III. That's a solid $60.

24x DVD+/-R/RW drive - We'll say it's a high-end drive. $20.

Nvidia GT 610 Graphics Card - Goes for a solid $40 on Amazon new.

Thermaltake Commander Case - Easy to find at $53.

AMD 760G Motherboard - $58 for it. Not very high-end.

500W Power Supply - You can probably find a good one for $50.

AZZA Gaming Mouse & Keyboard - $40 for both of them.

Total Price based on Amazon: $501.00

You're saving a whopping $3 while this thing is on sale. However, I am strongly against purchasing this. They were very ambiguous with the frequency of the RAM (could be 1333Mhz, terrible). Not only that, the peripherals aren't great, and they're shoving in a terrible graphics card. Upgrade the graphics and the peripherals and buy this yourself. A decent graphics card and better peripherals (remember you need a monitor if you don't have one) will probably run you closer to $650, but you'll have a much better experience.

If you don't want to do that, buy the build @ $498.00 before shipping, and then buy a graphics card and put it in yourself. A GTX 750 Ti will run you about $120, and it's a really solid card.

Here's a GT 610 running BF4 at low graphics with 1024x768 resolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ySoOJ8s07s
Here's a GTX 750 Ti running BF4 at ultra graphics with 1920x1080 resolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL6iN-DUJCw

You could easily do better for less money.

1. Don't buy computers from Walmart

2. You win?

But seriously, try to build your own PC. 100% better outcome.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ALc3 I was too lazy to make my own list but that looks like something I'd stick to.

Alright, since that comp is obviously a bad price what about this build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZJNE

Btw I don't need a OS, I already own Windows 7 Ultimate Edition so I can just get that onto it.

Just a few things:
  1. Buy the RAM in a 2x4GB set. This way you can confirm it's dual channel.
  2. If possible, you can step it up to a 7790, 7850 or a similarly matched Nvidia card.

Totally not worth the price. You can always get a cheaper computer if you buy the parts yourself than getting a prebuilt. Check out newegg.com and pick out what you like. I'll even make you a build for $500 later today if you'd like. You'll get an easy 150% increase in performance.

I would buy cheaper memory, and some of the parts can easily be cheaper.
You could also find a way better monitor for the same, or near the same pricing.
