New to PC Gaming

[Tangleduponblue]

As the title suggests, I've never taken part in PC gaming before but I'm looking to dip my toe in. Thus I'm seeking an entry level Gaming PC. A local college's Esports team is upgrading their rigs and I've found one of their old set ups available for around 500. Bellow are the specs. Do you guys feel like this is reasonable for the price?  I must admit, having never built a PC the fact that this comes pre-built and well maintained is a plus for me. I know some of the stuff is on the old side but again I'm just looking for a basic Gaming PC. I don't need 60 FPS locked in or Ray tracing or anything fancy. Just a playable experience. Thanks for your time.

 

Specs:
- Inwin 703 ATX Mid Tower
- Cooler Master Masterwatt 650w 80+ bronze PSU
- Asus STRIX GeForce GTX 1080TI

- Kingston Hyper X Fury 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
- ASUS TUF B360 Pro Gaming
- Intel i7 8700 CPU

Includes:
- Power Cable
- WIFI Antenna

Approx. Measurements: 7.5" x 18.75" x 17"
 

Budget (including currency): 500ish US Dollars.

Country: Midwest US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Entry Level Gaming PC

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

Seems decent for $500. This would probably be able to play all games at 1080p right now. If you learn on how to optimized graphic settings for each games, you would probably get good fps.

Ask to lower the price for $100-50. $50 at the least cause you're gonna spend $50 on day one on SSD storage. You're not gonna torture yourself by installing games on an HDD and 250GB boot will fill up by simply installing Steam and Chrome. $400 I'd take it with a smile, $450 I'd take it but no smile.

For me the best i could do new was https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vFkMdH

 

So this is decently good for the price, as venom said though, $450 would be good for the price, not just decently good

Considering this comes with wifi and a 2tb hdd I actually can't beat this. Would have to be very patient for some good used deals to do so.

What is this saying? No one's gonna build an 8 year old PC out of new and old parts, especially considering their pricing. Might as well just build new for less that has same performance such as @TatamiMatt's.

generally US pricing comes out to the same end price with cheaper components, i have my eyes on a 7900xtx nitro+, in UK its £1029, in US its $1059

 

Converting GBP to USD that GPU would cost me the equivalent of $1300

 

Edit: Also that build is $531 which i think you just realised
