So how is this for a pc under $600? This is what I was recommended to get by one of my friends, as I do not have much money for a computer. 

The case and all that is this on amazon >> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K1INXJK/ref=abs_brd_tag_dp?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

and the GPU I would put in it would be a GTX 1050, which the link to is here >>https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1050-2G-OC/dp/B01M67EF75/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487118706&sr=1-4&keywords=gtx+1050

 

I want to hear your opinions on this as I have little to no knowledge of computer quality and what not. If you think this is rather poor for a under $600 pc and you have other recommendations for one I would love to hear it, however do note I am not going to buy all separate parts because the likelihood of me fucking something up while trying to piece it together is a lot higher than if I have one or two separate parts. Do include links please.

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil. Never back away from an enemy. Either fight or surrender. It is not enough to say I will not be evil. Evil must be fought wherever it is found.”

By the way, I would like it if you can keep the graphics card under $150, so I would have $450 for the rest, but I would also like the rest to be less than $400, if possible.

For a GPU I'd highly recommend an RX 470.

You can find low-end models for $150 before rebate, and $120 after rebate (before tax tho)

Great amounts of CPU power, and a nice GPU.

You can run Windows 10 without a key anyway. But that Acer Aspire isn't terrible value. I'm only concerned that it doesn't have enough PSU to house a real GPU (RX570 or 580 or GTX 1060)

Well I wouldnt really upgrade the gpu a whole lot, or at all. If it can run say arma 2 at like 45 fps I would be happy.
