Question Is this pc any good

[icept]

Hi, planning on buying a desktop and was wondering if this one is any good for gaming

Price: $920.00
Case: RAIDMAX NEON
PSU: RAIDMAX XT 400W
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (3.4GHz Hex Core) – with Wraith Spire cooler
RAM: Ballistix RGB Tracer 8GB DDR4-2666 (1x8GB)
Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS B450 Elite (AM4 – RYZEN)
Graphics Card: Gigabyte RX580 Gaming – 8GB GDDR5
HDD: Crucial BX500 Series SSD – 480GB

No.
Is this prebuilt or are you building it? New or used?

PSU - Don't buy a RAIDMAX power supply. Ever.
RAM - You want 2x 4GB instead of 1x 8GB. Also, faster. DDR4 3000 or 3200. Ryzen CPUs like faster RAM
GPU - Thats a couple years old. You can do better than that.
HDD - While Crucial is a good name, that is one of their more mediocre drives.

its a prebuilt pc but thanks for the feedback. I knew the case wasn't that good because of lack of airflow but im also didn't want to spend too much money on a pc so was wondering if it was good for the price they are asking

Also for RX 580, a 500w PSU is recommended.

Is the gpu that bad considering the price? I mean It can run most games from what i saw in reviews

The case isn't necessarily bad. The included PSU is absolutely bad.

The GPU is OK...I have a similar one right now. But there are better ones out there.
Where are you buying this?

From a store here in South Africa! I mean I can always get another PSU at a later stage but in all is this build decent enough for the price if even if I replace the PSU?

Given prices where you are, it's not particularly "bad".
Except for that PSU.

Absolutely do not turn it on with that thing connected.
Replace it. Now. Not at "a later stage".

Corsair VS550 is that one better?
