Weren't we making fun of that exact listing a few pages back?
EDIT: Here's a generous depiction of that PC, parted on PCPartPicker: LINK
$397 not including the OS. Honestly, the worst part about it is that video card. It's sickening that they'd even call it a gaming PC.
Here's a quick representation of what you can get with $600:
PCPartPicker part list: LINK
Price breakdown by merchant: LINK /
Benchmarks: LINK /
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($109.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Micro Center)
Memory: Kingston Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($64.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.98 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card ($209.99 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($37.99 @ Mwave)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($37.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($15.98 @ OutletPC)
Total: $601.90
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

EDIT2: I'd say spend an extra $30 and get the MSI TF 760, though.

What AV would be better than AVG? I've heard good things about Avast.

My mom has 512 MB of RAM on her PC. I almost cried. No wonder her shite is slow. I'm surprised she can even run Chrome.

It most likely has a code that you can download on steam

Nope, I checked, and the comments section confirms.

Still in Atlanta. I was going to go home today, but I got a call for another interview tomorrow.

at new master racers. You don't have to use the disc. The inside of the DVD case is going to have an activation code/cd key. You need Steam to run the game. You can redeem the key on Steam and download the game without using the disc. And then you have it on your steam account for life, just like the digital download version.
