This is not a gaming PC but a low-end office PC. Mostly because the CPU in it is 10 years old. And since the CPU doesn't have on-board graphics, PC needs dedicated GPU to work.
I wouldn't buy it with that price since with a bit added cost, i can buy far better performing and up-to-the-date PC which i could upgrade even further.
Here's one such example build:
