Hello guys. I've bought a pc of the below configuration recently. I had economic insufficiency so I couldnt buy a better one. I mainly play video games on it. The configuration is given below:

Mobo: MSI A78M-E35
Processor: AMD A-10 7700k (APU with radeon r7 graphics)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 360 2GB DDR5
PSU: Thermaltake 450 W
RAM: Adata 8GB DDR3
HDD: WDC 1TB SATA

How good or bad is it and what kind of games can I play in it?
Thank you

It's not that bad. You should be fine at 720p, although you might not get ultra settings on some games. You can get playable 1080p as well for easy to run games too.
However the specs aren't the issue. As long as you are happy with it, that is what matters, not what someone says on the Internet.

For example, I recently spoke to an annoying guy who thought anyone who didn't buy amd gpus was an idiot and the r9 295X2 was the best card ever and he said the gtx 970 was bad because it couldn't play games at 4K. Someone like that will look at a setup like yours and be a jerk, whereas other people (I fit into this category) understand what it means to not be able to have nor want the best of the best, and that's fine. If this is your first...

If this is your first PC, just enjoy it and don't pay any heed to people of the first category. Anyway, I hope you have a blast, and good luck.

I'll agree with computers_are_freaky. You should be able to push 1080 at playable frames on most games, with some eye candy turned off. Not the biggest loss if you're looking to enjoy PLAYING the game. You'll have a good time with it I'm sure.

I started with a 3 core AMD and a 5570 GPU for my first ground up build. Couldn't afford more, but it got by. Over time I've built and re-built. The build is half of the fun for me. Hope you enjoy it nearly as much.
