That's a very nice price for what you are getting there bud.

A few things on this note:

In the specifications of the tower, the website exclaims that the i5 3470 is 3.3GHz. Owning one currently, I can tell you that the i5 3470 is clocked to 3.2GHz with a 3.6GHz turbo boost - very unprofessional for a company to be inaccurate on specs.

Secondly, the website doesnt specify the power supply, so I can't tell you if the GPU will even allow the PC to turn on because it could already be at its maximum power limit.

Finally, the GPU in that case will be suffocated. The airflow looks extremely restrictive and as you can see the cooling is a lot less superior to your standard MSI GTX 1050 which will mean your temps are sure to get excessive...

The PC is made for office usage, meaning the HDD is probably going to be slower differing from your standard 7.2RPM storage which could mean the PC is prone to crashing. (looking at the comments, people have complained about such).

If planning to game i wouldn't recommend buying this bundle for gaming purposes.

I hope this helps.

That's a good price, but there are a few things you need to know.

The Power Supply isn't listed on the website, meaning if the PSU is not capable enough, you won't be able to put the GPU in.
I can tell you that most of those "brand" prebuilt PC's have PSU's capable of less than 300W, and such, I wouldn't recommend a GPU with such a PSU.
You can get it and place the bet, but there's no guarantee you'll win.

Airflow is an easy problem, if the GPU doesn't get enough air, you can take off the side panel of the case and it'll get enough air.

As Wayne said, these PC's usually come with 5400RPM hard drives, it won't be bad, but will certainly not be as fast as a 7200RPM.
I have a 5400RPM hard drive in my laptop and it isn't a problem, but it certainly isn't as fast as a 7200RPM.

These PC's are made with cost in mind, so don't expect anything to be high quality, they use the cheapest things, PSU is likely to be cheap junk too.

One more thing, the comments section on the website says that the hard drive is TOAST. Be prepared for this.

I looked at the pdf for that system. They offer a low profile videocard upgrade, so the card should physically fit. However, the SFF has a 240W power supply. That's a 77W CPU and the 1050 Ti is a 75W GPU. There's 152W of use right there, that's cutting it close. I personally wouldn't do that but maybe it's worth the gamble to you.
