I usually play RPGs I want to get into divinity 2 and wastelands 3 etc.

No real upgrades are possible. At most, you can get a gt1030.

The psu is a non-standard for factor, perhaps tfx and uses non-standard connectors. So you can't upgrade the psu. Since the psu is so weak, you can only use very low power gpu's like the gt1030.
The i3 should be a quad core, so no upgrade there needed.

That is a great deal for the computer, basically free. You can remove the CPU, hard drive and RAM and build a normal system around it with your own motherboard, power supply, case and video card to make it a gaming system at a good price. You'd have to do a clean Windows setup on it with a new motherboard but that's easy.
