Heres the gameplan:
I plan to buy a prebuilt from walmart (any tower will do) and I figured that since the PC is enclosed in the case, I can just swap out the cpu and the gpu and return the PC the same day at the walmart customer service, which I believe will be an instant refund since my past returns required me to put my credit card in the chip reader. I hope its not the case where I go to return it in the store and they take the PC and ship it bck to the warehouse ---> wait a few days and then they refund you.
Any input will be greatly appreciated

I think it would be a better idea to claim issues with a used pre built than a brand new
Pro tip for you guys:
If you have a lil know-how, flash the GPU and CPU.
There are a few videos on you tube on how to do it
I am 100% certain, that ppl wont check for CUDA cores and more. They will just check the GPU's name
The problem with the CPU is, it should have the same amount of cores!
By doing this, it looks like, the GPU and CPU is still in there.
The forum is going downhill.
