Is this a good first PC?

[Syphno]

So I just bought my good friend a "new" second hand PC with all brand new parts in it for what I think is a good deal.

I just got into PC gaming last year so I have all new hardware and this PC I bought for $600 Has some older equipment in it.

 

SPECS*

* intel core i5 4690k CPU

*evga GTX 1060 3gb SC GPU

*coolermaster RR-HT2-28PK-R1 hyper T2 CPU cooler

*gigabyte DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 B85 ATX motherboard

*crucial ballistix sport 16gb kit 4GBx4 DDR3 1600 MT/s RAM

*Kingston digital 240gb SSD 

*Hitachi GST ultrastar 7k3000 3TB 7200 RPM hard drive

*Sentey MBP750-HM 80+ bronze power supply

*fractal design FD-CA-FOCUS-GY-W focus g atx case

*windows 10

 

When I got to the house to check out this PC I saw how clean it was and jumped right on the deal for $600.

Is this a good PC even for todays standards in tech? For a friend that currently plays on XBOX

That's a pretty good deal right there. Don't worry he will be able to play almost every single game at 60+fps ultra settings 1080p.

[Princess Luna]

It's alright for 1080p gaming.

 

You didn't really make any "absurdly great deal" at all... I'd still have invested in current gen stuff as a lot has changed... but eh... what's done is done and it wasn't that bad either... call it a "deal" solely.

 

 It will run games

[Jurrunio]

It's a decent PC (other than the dodgy power supply and weak cooler), but a somewhat bad deal.

 

This is the equivalent in performance with new, unused hardware

You overpaid for this old machine.

[Ansuex]

Overpaid or not, replace the PSU and CPU cooler, overclock that i5 and you still got a killer pc right there  especially if you would upgrade the GPU in a later stage

nah, just Google brought me to the XCP's site while I search for the MBP for some reason. Other than a uncommon brand name there's nothing wrong with it (aside from the sleeve bearing fan, which is a minor disappointment).
