Walmart will sell two laptops and a desktop PC designed in collaboration with Esports Arena:
Companies like Alienware might dominate the pre-built gaming desktop and laptop PCs, but Walmart is throwing down the gauntlet today. The company has launched its own line of powerful gaming rigs, as spotted by PC Gamer.
These machines come in three different flavors: two laptops, and a single gaming desktop. The specifications are pretty outstanding, but they come at a cost, which we'll get into later. All of the machines fall under Walmart's new "Overpowered" (OP) product line, and they're the result of the retail giant's recent collaboration with Esports Arena.
Who's next? Tesco?

You can see on the Phoronix graphs that the 780ti really dominates the benchmarks for the nouveau driver. They seem to be going for about $180 used on ebay.
Note: If you see someone on ebay selling an Nvidia card "brand new" "unbranded" from China, the chances that it's a fake (an older, slower card flashed with newer firmware to appear to be the newer card) is about 99.9%. If the card is in the US$50 - $75 range, the chances rise to about 100%. It's good to look for a recognized brand name such as MSI, EGVA, Gigabyte, etc and match the advertised specs to the published ones.
