For a low-budget gaming PC, yeah for sure.

 

PSU might be super crappy though, so you'll probably have to replace that.

 

A PC like this would go great with something like a used GTX 970, RX 480/470/580/570, or GTX 1060 6GB

If you already own it or can get it for under $100, sure. Just toss in an SSD and a used RX 570/580.

With a respectable GPU and a SSD for boot, you'll be amazed on how good even a old platform like that can still be.

Even at high settings you'll get around 65 fps with an rx 570 if I'm not mistaken.
