Well, it's not HORRIBLE. I've seen worse specs. But you are not doing yourself any favors with some of these components, because some of them just don't make sense. I don't think an AMD FX CPU is a good buy, especially not today. There are better, decently priced i5's from Intel that perform better than AMD's FX CPU's. Your mobo is pretty bare bones, and idk if I trust it. Maybe look into Asus motherboards, or EVGA motherboards (both are very reliable). I might also recommend going with a power supply with a higher voltage (at least 700 watts just to be safe). Your GPU is fine, but since games are getting more demanding, I might suggest going with the newer GPU's from Nvidia, like a 1050 or 1060.
