Its decent but It won't play Skyrim Maxed Out 60 FPS , even the most expensive GPUs won't do that easily . Its good if thats your first PC gaming experience , you'll be able to play games at 1080p but then the general advice here is to build your own pc , its cheaper and better. In case you wanted a 600$ gaming pc thats a good one

Very bad PSU.
VERY VERY bad motherboard.
Horribly overkill CPU compared to GPU.
The above option is decent.
However I would not get the CPU he chose. Its a bit underpowered compared to the rest of the system
My suggestion :

This build is better in EVERY way, although I would add a CPU cooler.
