First, here's what you'll get :
Intel i5-3470 3.20GHz (I think it's a quad core)
There are 4 sticks of RAM for a total of 16Go (4 slots available so if you want to upgrade, you will have to replace them (or some of them), there is no more room for adding new ones)
NVidia GTX1650 4Go
450Go SSD
The computer is actually very quiet too, I was planning on upgrading the fans but I won't have to.
The SSD makes the computer very snappy, it will be up and running in 10 seconds. 16Go of RAM will allow you to multitask easily.
There is enough room to add 2 HDD and quite a few SSD
Make sure to have some spare cables (you can use those for the DVD player if you don't need it in the meantime)
I'm using it for gaming, I can max out every old game (up to X360 - PS3 era), for instance, Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mirror's Edge run at max settings @1080p 60Hz.
If you want to play Xbox One - PS4 era games, you should be able to reach 1080p 60Hz by making some sacrifices (medium to high settings depending on the games, less demanding games can actually look better than their console counterpart)
Basically, this computer is a bit more powerful than an Xbox One or PS4 and less powerful than a PS4Pro or an Xbox One X.
Everything that can run on these consoles will run on this computer. Overwatch, CS:GO, Fortnight etc.
For the same price, you can probably get an X1X or PS4Pro, but games will be more expensive, you don't have the versatility PC have, it'll take ages to start, games will have missing content (Stranded Deep, Thief simulator as examples) and, if you're often buying remasters, this computer will be able to remaster every game from the previous generations for free. If you're tired of getting the short end of the stick when playing on consoles (farcry level editors being too limited, games like Ion Fury releasing a year later etc), this computer can remedy that for a very good price. So, I would say that it's better to buy this computer than an X1X or PS4Pro (I'm myself a X1X owner)
I can't find anything bad to say, when I bought it, I was expecting to play in 720p with medium settings and this computer turned out to be way more powerful than what I was expecting so, if you want reasons not to buy it, you'll have to read other reviews ^-^
