i need a decent pc to run some of the newer games on low to medium settings at a good framerate, also something i can build off of like maybe in a year or so i could get a better GPU. Its this or a ps4, the laptop i recently got can only run bf4 at low at 30 fps which is alright but i cant upgrade it so this isnt much of a gaming pc.

That will give you much better gaming performance than the PS4. You could get High with this on 1080p.
