1st of all, no that computer will not even get close to ultra settings, medium would be unreachable for most games. That fx-4300 is super weak, and so is the GPU.

$550 is a chump price, you could build that computer brand new for $420 , so with a new monitor/keyboard/mouse you would be looking at 560-570 brand new (and this is assuming his copy of Win 10 is completely legitimate).

If you want ultra settings you are going to have to spend way more money. The graphics card alone needed for ultra settings will cost $550.

For $600 you can build a capable gaming computer, not ultra settings, but medium settings. This is not including monitor/keyboard/mouse which will be another $120-150.

If you need a computer now, but want to game...

I suppose it would, however the GPU isn't very powerful keep that in mind, myself I'd prefer to choose parts and built it myself but I think this is a decent deal, not the best but since it comes with all peripherals as well it might be worth it

Considering the graphics card is nearly $75 new, no lol. You can build a significantly better PC for $533 with these parts.

Yes, you still need a monitor, but a monitor and keyboard/mouse could realistically only cost you $150 if you're not looking to get flashy.
$650 for a PC that will last you 5+ years of play (if you do the games you listed) is a steal compared to what you listed.

You're right, however a proper monitor now a days costs around €130-150 and well the mouse and keyboard dont need to be that expensive but probably would go for another €30-40 (but that's in the netherlands)

That's the issue with this sometimes. US/EURO prices are always different. Finding a slightly used monitor online never hurts either, you can find some cheap stuff that's reliable. A mouse/keyboard doesn't need to be fancy at first. Peripherals aren't a priority, upgrade those after the PC has been built. A standard microsoft/logitech $20 set will be plenty for a month or so.

If you need a computer now, but want to game then I would suggest with starting with something that wont game well but is designed to be easily upgradeable
