[noah7520]

my friend is buying a 8 gb 1333 MHz gtx 1070 8 gb i5 2500K dont know nothing else for about 500 bucks with a screen and the other stuff. i know my basics about "computers" and i buildt my own but this thing is really weird and my knowladge is only basic. is this something he should buy if he want to browse and play csgo and gta v

for $500 it's a good deal, and for CSGO it's good.
The ram may not be enough for GTAV though, as it can easily go beyond 8GBs. (that and it's relatively slow)

a 1070 alone costs like $850

IMHO he could easily build a system of his won with our/youtube/your aid and come away with the experience. The places where corners can and will be cut is being handed down bad quality ram, an already aging platform and a horrible boot drive+PSU. The only thing close to the 500USD mark is the cost of the GPU.

My vote, you can build a Ryzen R3 1200 system with a GTX1050Ti in it for about that amount your paying at the moment.

With a 1070 included it's a bad price?

If it has a gtx 1070, then your friend found a great deal on a used video card and they are throwing in a PC for free.

Right now that 1070 is worth more than 500 by itself. So the half decent PC being included is great. Buy a better PC for 4-500 without a graphics card and sell the one you got for $100 or so.

Yes he should. Whoever is selling that PC must be living underneath a rock if they are selling it for $500. It's one of those too good to be true things so I can only advise caution.
