Purpose?
Where are you getting these specs from? Can you link us to it?
Any particular reason why you don't want to build it yourself?

I was hoping to use it for gaming, and occasionally running AutoCAD programs.
I would just prefer not to build it myself.

Any reason why? You can get much better performance at the same price if you build your own.
It's highly recommended unless you seriously cannot build it.

I know, but I have no experience building and I cant afford to "practice" on something of this price range unless I absolutely need to.

Building a computer is extremely easy and there are tons of guides out there. You can always learn. Additionally, it'll help you gain some needed pc knowledge when your pc stops working a couple of years from now or something. This is a great and my favorite "How to build a pc" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls
