That PC is crap. Don't go for it. Build one your self. Like that you can get a PC with great performance for same price.

Here is the list:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (€189.90 @ Caseking)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-B250M-D2V Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (€64.33 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: Kingston - 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (€49.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Seagate - BarraCuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€47.09 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Mini Video Card (€549.90 @ Caseking)
Case: Corsair -...
What kind of screen is it? Model number will help out.

Not a bad deal in my opinion. But be aware the system is of the last generation and you will probably have to upgrade in approximately 1 to 2 years or so.
New Ryzen CPUs are out along with z270 (intel)/B350 motherboards, supporting DDR4 ram (compared to your DDR3).

Still not a bad deal for a decent 1920*1080@60fps gaming rig.

Buy the GPU after month or two when the price goes down. It will go down by €100 or more.
This PC is lot more powerful than that prebuilt PC.
Add second 8GB RAM stick in future. It costs only €50

Thats the thing, i don´t want to build my first rig since i don´t have any experience and there´s almost no good suppliers in my country

If you don't plan on upgrading, I recommend you save up money for a better system. The system you choose will not last you 2-3 year unfortunately (except the graphics card).
