Answer
I don't trust that the Windows 7 ultimate is a licensed copy. If not a pirate one, it is from a disc used in another system. The CPU is OK as Phenom II x6 1045T, but gaming uses only 4 cores anyway. In gaming it is a tier 5 so is uninspiring to me.
The graphics card is a piece of junk appx equal to Intel HD 3000. Simply put:
"GeForce GT 520 is an entry-class level GPU part of the 500 Series released by NVIDIA in 2011/2012. The performance is much worse than the next models in the series and not recommended for gamers. Very demanding games (e.g. Metro 2033, The Witcher 2) might be unplayable, even at the lowest settings or only playable with unattractive resolutions while demanding games (e.g. Crysis 2, Skyrim V) should playable at low settings smoothly

POWER SUPPLY: Diablotek PSDA600 DA Series 600W Power Supply - ATX, 600 Watts, 2x 80mm Fans is a cheap one.
It will need a better graphics card. The power supply is very unimpressive. I would not pay anywhere near $400 without checking the license on the Windows Ultimate, so calling that at zero value,
Without Windows, new is $446.76 plus the mouse, keyboard, games, and Windows

And that upgrades the RAM and HDD a little.
In a card this low, will look only at SWTOR which should be the highest level graphics in your list.
It should play on low settings. Maybe if you changed the graphics card to an HD 6670 or 7750 it would be an acceptable system.

Answer
I would get a bigger hard-drive espescially if it's going to be a gaming computer, maybe a 500GB or even a 1TB.
