The Coffeelake i5's are good for gaming but your going to want a good GPU, the 1060 6gb is good for 1080P/60hz but the cost of the system you posted was just too high for those parts. If you need to lower the price something like this would work well.

The specs are good but that price...

If you built it yourself you could get a much better system.
