While that's not necessarily a bad PC, it's relatively underpowered for gaming needs, is a bit light on memory, and the graphics card is going to choke on anything more challenging than The Sims.
It will likely do the job -- letting you play SC2, I mean -- but you won't be able to crank the graphics to max, and other modern games will likely have the same problem. Also, Cyberpower has a -horrible- reputation for customer service, so if something does go bad, you'll be on your own to replace it, most likely. At that price point, that's to be expected, honestly.
I'd personally hold off a little longer -- if you have that much available to spend now, a month or two more would likely net you enough on top of that to get a better machine. Also, post-Christmas sales are just around the corner, and those offer great chances to score premium hardware on the cheap.
If you need one now now now, you could do worse, but I'd suggest going into it expecting to spend more on it within the next six months to a year, and outright replacement in 2 or 3 at the most.

Which is out of stock at present but they say they'll have more on 11/19; that's -slightly- more expensive but you get more bang for your buck. Just a suggestion.
