Yes, though you need to fix the RAM and as noted above you'll need more storage.  Add a 1TB HDD and put just the OS on the 128gb.

You'll have a nice budget system.  When eventually you find a game that wants more cores, or a better GPU and you'll upgrade from there.

I have been trying to build a good gaming PC under $600 .
Are these specs good ?. And most importantly , for how long will this PC be able to run AAA games on high settings @30-40 FPS?.

 

EDIT : Can this PC be called a 'Console Killer' in any way?.

But it's DDR4

That doesn't change anything. 4GB is not really adequate for modern gaming, as it can introduce issues with stuttering in games.

I can understand.

But how long will this PC last if I use 8 GB RAM?.

Doesn't matter.  Get 2 4GB dimms for dual channel and if you can, get 3000mhz.  Ryzen like faster ram.

With the 1050 Ti, I imagine it could last you at least 2 years doing what you want.

This is true, though if 2400MHz is that much cheaper, it's not going to make a monumental difference.

Agreed, and with the am4 board the OP could potentially use 'this PC' for a long time if he upgrades the CPU to an R5/7 or even the new Ryzen+ or later Ryzen 2.  All of which are supposed to work on the platform.

That storage space will fill up quickly.
