Is this pc a good deal on a gaming pc?

Solution
Got you, man. Anyway, while I can't find the mobo for the PC, I'm almost certain that CyberpowerPC doesn't solder in its parts, so, yes, you should have room for upgradeability should you so desire. Just check the rig's PSU and see if it's up to the task of powering whatever graphics solution you might fancy in the future.

Well, for one, forums like this one are here to help first time system builders. Every builder started with zero experience, but they built their first rigs nonetheless. Anyway, the PC looks good, and would definitely game at 1080p.

Yea man, i understand that, but i'm just worried i would make a mistake or something while actually putting it together. I would much prefer to get a decent prebuilt one now before i start college, then getting a good build later once I actually have a decent income. I have one more question. Would a prebuild pc like this be upgradeable? Like to by a new gpu or something? I like the 660 but i would like to be able to upgrade in a year or so to something a bit more beefy. I just dont have the budget now.

I'm not against pc building. It's just impractical for me at the time. I want one final verdict. I won't be playing games like BF4 and stuff. My grandparents pre ordered me a PS4 for that. All i will be playing on the pc is mmo like GW2, LoL, Tera and games like that. Will this PC be good for MMO gaming at high settings? And would it be worth my money to get a 120gb ssd in the future?

 
Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but if you're comfortable replacing a video card on your own, then you can build from scratch, it really only fits together one way, and almost every new part comes with some kind of owners manual/instructions. If you're going to college I assume you can read, I understand the trepidation, but aside from static discharge (which I assume you know about, again, college bound) PCs are pretty resilient. Not only that, once you do it once, you'll have to fix your moms computer whenever it breaks down, and you will become the family tech. Nothing against prebuilt, it's just that you can do so much better, then you have to replace parts less often/better warranties/pride... I can give you the basics pretty quick.
1)Take care of the static.
2)Make a list of the parts you will need, a budget and an account here can help tremendously, remember, we were all at the same place you were at once, and most here are readily available to help out at a moments notice.
3)Get a good Power Supply.
4)Have fun!

It's cool, it's cool. :D Nice. Yeah, sure, Out of the box, the rig will play your games beautifully, it's bound to max out LoL too. Just for reference, the 660 plays BF4 on 1080p with around 60fps, so the graphics horsepower is definitely there. Well, if you think faster boot-up and application loading times are worth it, I don't see why you shouldn't invest in an SSD.
