Alright, I get it. The parts are old, but will it run games such as CS, LoL, Unturned at max graphics?

I'm getting an amazing deal with this for only $150.

Also is it upgradeable? Can I get a new mobo and upgrade to a new zen processor or maybe an fx-8350?

Finally, the last question, do I need any extra case fans? I really don't want any of my components to get very hot, or my pc to shutdown in the middle of a multiplayer game.

I'm assuming it uses 80mm fans, which are insanely cheap, but I want to be safe.

Thanks!

The 8670D is on the physical die. You would have to add a discrete card to get more performance. You also might be able to get a new motherboard and CPU, but you would lose the Windows license it it had one. The 8670D is a decent iGPU, but even the best iGPUs still are in the sub $100 range for discrete cards.
No, no, no, no, and no. That's your answer.
Now for useful stuff:
It is a good deal. But you are probably going to get mid-high settings at 720p with that (60fps, though.) With a discrete GPU, such as the RX 470, you could probably push 40-50fps at 1080p (processor bottleneck.) And that's the fastest CPU for that socket.

So I can't upgrade it with a new mobo, and cpu?

Also I saw some gameplay with the same specs and it looked fine, and it turned out that the benchmarks were recorded with just the apu, so I assumed that the graphics card and the apu together would be pretty good.

Thanks though.

Wait, I'm confused. Is the 8670d part of the apu, or is it completely separate?
I'm not an AMD person, nor do I know much about AMD.
