Starter PC For My Brother

[danyongraham1997]

My brother is looking into getting a pre built PC (transitioning from console). I've built mine through pc parts picker but he wants to avoid the building process.

He shared this link:

https://www.amazon.com/LEGION-Y520-TWR-3-0-8GB/dp/B0776CYVGC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528426868&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lenovo+y520+desktop&dpPl=1&dpID=31Wc0XGubHL&ref=plSrch

And wants to know if this is a good starting pc for playing fps games like overwatch & fortnite.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

That's a horrible listing that leaves out nearly every important specification.

You should know exact CPU and GPU model for sarters.

Here's a good gaming PC with specs listed (*he would likely want more hard drive space because it has the SSD but no HDD, buying a HDD is rather cheap and easily installable.)

if you have a local micro center look at there house brand. try getting a pc that uses a stock case size and power supply. a lot of dell and hp now use small cases and there not upgrade friendly. also look on newegg for pre built gaming pc.

This seems too cheap for some of it's specs. I can't guarantee the stuff in it is high tier. But with a 1060 GTX + i7 8700 this seems a lot better than what you can get. Either that or use partpicker. And other websites.
