That barely passes as a gaming PC merely because it will probably at least allow a game to run. Low-end gaming PCs always come with poorly specced graphic cards, the component that will dictate gaming performance the most. Simply put, the GT 610 is garbage if you want to play anything made in the last few years at reasonable settings. You'd be better off buying a console if this is just to be a gaming PC.

You are much, much better off taking the time to learn how to assemble one yourself, because finding a correctly configured gaming PC at this budget is going to be near impossible.

I can configure you a competent build in the $600 range.
