No it's not a high end gaming PC..Poor motherboard chipset, low quality case & PSU and low perfomance GPU.
GDDR5 is higher speed for GPU

It's is a mid to low end gaming pc

How much money do you plan to spend? What's your monitor's resolution and from which stores can you buy?

First of all I would definitely recommend to get a new monitor. It will make your gaming experience better and you won't regret it! As for the PC, it has very powerful GPU a fast CPU and it's fully upgrade able to the newest AMD CPUs that will come! The only thing I would add later is an SSD!

What is SSD?

 

[michxymi]

What is SSD?

It stands for Solid State Drive, it a hard disk that doesn't use mechanical parts only flash memory so it's faster and makes your programs load faster. It's disadvantage is that it's usually small (120GB) and you only load operating system and basic programs there

It means he will have to buy another HDD for Games, programes, Data etc. probably SATA.

But What is the main purpose of SSD?

To load programs/games faster and generally to speed things up
