good buy for cheap, but idk about "solid base to upgrade on", for a real pc you would need to upgrade almost every part in that rig.

It's a decent enough processor.  Add some ram and a video card.  I don't see why it's a problem.  I mean it isn't 1440 on ultra or anything, but it could play basically anything with a mid 20 series card or lower 30.series.card.
