With walmart it depends on the store. 2 of the 3 local walmarts in my area do not have computers or parts the 3rd does and they have a pretty solid selection you can even get halfway decent pre built "customs" normally they are fairly well spected except for like a gpu i found one that was a ryzen 5 forget the exact cput decent enough with 16gb ddrt4 ram and a gtx 1030 for the gpu lol it was sub 800 bucks when the major builders were selling the same for a grand with just igpu lol so a craptastic many generation old gpu but a gpu none the less. I actually was going to buy it and decided against it had i known a customer of mine was going to need a gpu id have snatched it up and offed the gpu for just under a 100 and slapped in my 2060 12gb card. My current system is so over the top othert than the rtx 2060 lol .Do these stores actually have GPUs for sale or were these online orders returned to a local store? I never seen a PC hardware for sale at any Walmart near me.
As far as the concerns about the risk of buying a open box return there is non really if the gpu is not what is advertised return it and no harm no foul there is little real risk other than a bit of wasted time or ask if you can check to make sure the gpu is in the box and it is the right gpu chances are they will allow it.
Walmart might be the store everyone hates but the truth is you can find some good deals on pc parts and because most don't think of them as having high end parts many over look them and when everyone else is sold out they may have it in stock. AMD intel nvidia always check walmart just incase.
