That's horrendous for that price. Does it have to be an "all in one" computer? or are you okay with a desktop and separate monitor?

while still not what I would buy, atleast it has a 2.2ghz quadcore i5 and a dedicated gpu.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yFLn9W There are some things you could change around to save some money if need be, but this will do you a lot better than the one you linked. I'm not sure what your budget is, so I tried to stay under the budget of what you linked. Just add whatever monitor and operating system you want. If you can put together a lego set, you can put together a computer. Just watch a tutorial video and follow along.

It wouldn't be a strong gaming computer if that's something you plan on using it for, as far as upgrading goes.

I would search around some more to see other options. While pre-built computers are nice in the sense they are a ready to go from the start, building your own could yield much better results at the same price. There's a lot of different sites that can help you out. A site I use to reference different parts is Tomshardware.com. It's even got a build your own pc area where it walks you through every step, explaining it along the way. Might be useful to check out just for knowledge sake. Not perfect, but useful.

That processor will let you down big time sorry to say. 1.7ghz is just pretty bad for gaming.
