Depends on the parts in the PC...

You gotta give us a bit more information than that.

Periphio Vortex Gaming PC Desktop Computer Tower, Intel Quad Core i5 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD 500GB 7200 RPM HDD, Windows 10, HDMI, Wi-Fi 

 

I'll upgrade the ram and I have one terabyte hard drive.

Nobody really uses quad-cores anymore... Maybe you can upgrade the CPU or something

[Ezra Lewis]

But is it good for a starter PC, to play some games like Apex legends until I get more money to upgrade.

Need actual model number of CPU to start making an assessment - and it NEEDS an SSD, not a HDD.

If it’s a quadcore i5 it is at best an i5 7600. The most common 3.2ghz i5 is an i5 3470, so this is an ivy bridge system.

You can diy a better pc for $500, or at least find a better old office pc.

Thats not a 3 or 4 year old pc, that’s a 12 year old cpu.

yeah it's probably like an Optiplex 790 SFF or something transferred into a "RGB case" lol 

 

Probably not an office PC but similar, definitely older than 4 years

You're better off building a budget PC with a Ryzen 5 3600 or similar and your $250 GPU

[Ezra Lewis]

I also have a old office PC that was my great grandmothers, but it's probably just scrap. It has intel Pentium dual core 2.4ghz e2220 8GB of ddr3 and a foxconn motherboard.

And I decided not to buy the PC
