Not well at all, maybe on the very lowest settings. That machine just isn't a gamer, and bringing it up to snuff, if possible at all, will cost more than just building a gaming PC from the outset. It has no video card; upgrading to anything decent will also mean replacing the PSU. Then, you'll be limited by a muttly CPU. I would suggest looking at the most recent System Builder Marathon articles, specifically the $500-$550 builds. Then post a new-build thread on the forums for further advice based on current pricing and availability.

Will it play games? Yes.

Will it be able to game at high settings? No.

Can it be made to run games better? Yes.

Would you be better off building your own rig for the money it will take to make this one "gameworthy"? Probably.

Last, are Open Box purchases good? Maybe, just be sure you read the fine print as WR2 points out.
