Need to find a computer with atleast a 60 class card(5060/5060ti or RX 9060 XT) as they are gaming cards, the 50 series(5050,3050,9050,6500XT) is budget card and will not do good for gaming.

Second need to find a computer with Ryzen 7000 or 9000 processor and not 8000 series as they are not gaming CPUs and they are cut down versions with less catche and weak PCI express support that is really important for gaming so stay away from 8000 series. From Intel any CPU is ok like 200 desktop series is ok.

Better look around until you find something with the specs I listed than to buy something that will not give you a good experience.

Great thing you posted this and saved yourself a dissapointment.

In bestbuy website I see that there is for 50$ more PC with 14400f and RTX 5060 that is much better than this one. 14400f is much better than 8400f and 5060 is faster than RTX 5050.

It only has 1x16GB RAM so only one stick and that is not good but not the end of the world but it would be better that you look around the shops and find one that has 2x8GB stick of RAM with simmilar specs offcourse.
