If you upgrade that celeron to a modern cpu with at lesst 4 cores like the i3-8100 it would be better. 2 cores significantly bottlenecks in many games besides those known to run on potatoes(like csgo)

 

Also, that power supply is way way too overkill for that system. You can save money by getting a power supply that does not have lighting, and that had less wattage since you will not use all of it

 

There are other cases that have better bang for the buck

 

5400rpm Harddrives are usually better with larger capacities, for mass storage. If it is your only drive, booting from windows and starting up games will be painfully slow. 500GB is usually not enough too. 

 

4GB of RAM isn’t enough for a modern PC(chrome can easily take up 5gb of ram)

 

Something like this would have less bottlenecks. It is hard to fit in a graphics card of   a RX 560’s caliber without going for used ones at this budget without over-sacrificing on other aspects which can cause bottlenecks

Honestly, it depends on what you mean by decent. If you mean run windows and browse the internet, thats what it can do. If you want more, like gaming, editing, rendering, streaming, etc, you need to buy better stuff because the stuff shown won't cut it
