No I wouldn't buy that, especially not for $500. It has an old AMD FX CPU which was slow even when it was new.

Would you not consider building your own? You could get a Ryzen 3 system for around $500. Would be lots faster and last much longer.

This will run circles around what that computer has for just a bit more.
