Typically, the worst part about buying pre-builts like the one posted above, is not even that they are underpowered (they are), it's that the "non-essential" parts are typically garbage tier (case, PSU, RAM, mobo). They slap on a high RAM total, a known CPU (usually clocked down or undervolted) and a low-mid videocard and it looks like a steal, except you can never upgrade it because everything is crap.
You might end up paying 100-150 more for an "equivalent" self-built PC, but in the long run you will appreciate that you have the ability to upgrade without buying extra parts (eg, not needing to spend $100 on a new PSU just to upgrade your video card).
