is this a good gaming pc?

Solution
It's a start, but has no dedicated GPU. Forget running any game above mine craft on that thing. Some people might comment and say you need to buy a GPU. It's true, if you want to game with it you'd need a decent graphics card. But here is the catch with your computer; your power supply is only 500w. This means it probably won't be powerful enough to run anything above a 750, which quite honestly isn't the best to game with. If you want something good such as a 770/780 and so on, you would need to switch power supplies which is easier said than done.

My opinion is to always build your own, but if you want a pre built find something else because you're gonna have a bad time gaming on that thing.
