Medium-Low @ 1080p should be achievable and, considering a (remotely) comparable system today would cost you somewhere around ~500-550EUR..... it's a sort of, "ok" buy.

For example:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (€107.90 @ Caseking)
Motherboard: Biostar - B350ET2 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (€68.90 @ Caseking)
Memory: G.Skill - NT Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (€119.89 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Silicon Power - Silm S55 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€44.12 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Hitachi - Ultrastar 7K3000 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€57.00...

The 660 is showing it's age, and a lot will depend on the PSU too.

Overall, it would achieve what you want from it..... but I'd try to bring him down on price a bit. Nearer 200EUR, it would be a pretty solid deal.
