The hardware seems to be a few years old. The X4 860k is from 2014 and the r9 380 from 2015 if I remember correctly. It’s already starting to close in on being outdated, leaving you looking for upgrades before too long.  I might recommend looking for something with newer hardware, such as a Ryzen 5 1600 or 1600x CPU and a GTX 1060, if budget and availability allows.

Understandable.  It will definitely run a lot of what you throw at it, just not at maximum settings.  If it's all you can get at the moment it will certainly get the job done.

 

Sorry for the late reply, I apparently had my notifications turned off.  Oops.
