I know people say its better to build your CPU's, but I don't feel thats an option for me now so please refrain from bringing that up and stick to my question at hand. Thank you!
I'm thinking of purchasing this Acer Aspire AME600-UR368 desktop. The link for it is here:

I realize the PSU and the graphics card are sub-par if even any good at all. However, the Processor seems alright (I looked it up), it has decent memory and a good enough HDD. I don't know if this MOBO is good, or if theres something about this computer that looks fishy, etc. It's also Windows 8 but I'm going to downgrade it to Windows 7. However, I'm thinking of getting a different PSU and graphics card in replacement of them. The only way I'm going to feel safe enough to go through with this entire fiasco is if I know that the whole computers components are okay. That's why I'm here. I'd like a more expert opinion on the computer and whats currently inside, excluding the graphics card and psu which I plan to change. I just don't feel I'm educated enough to judge if this whole computer is legit (of course excluding graphics and PSU) and so I'd love to get some opinions on this. Is everything else moderate and good enough to play high end games? I'm not looking for max but high/ultra on most games sounds good, maybe max on source games as an expectation example of mine. Here is the graphics card and psu I plan to use as replacements, unless anyone else has a better idea for similar budget. Thank you.
