Maybe, not knowing the PSU model, motherboard & CPU cooler would be a big no-go for me and for $1500 you could build a nicer system.

You can hold off buying Win10 for now by using the Windows 10 ISO, just skip the part where it asks for a key during installation and get one when you can afford it.

If you are thinking of buying a prebuilt PC, then it is almost certain that they are using a low quality Power Supply (PSU). They almost never state the make and model number in the specs, just the wattage, which in a low end unit, I wouldn't even trust. If/when the PSU fails, you will be looking for a replacement, and learning the skills to install it, hoping the PSU didn't take out any other components when it failed.
 
That doesn't change anything for me. Please read the attached information:

If the PSU in the prebuilt is from a lower tier, it "could" do real damage to your rig. The reason they usually don't specify the make and model of the PSU in their specifications, is that they use whatever PSU they purchased cheap in the last batch they bought, and that changes over time.
