Re: Good Computer specs
You're going to want to upgrade the GPU, and drop the windows 10. The GT730 is ancient as windows 10 though seemingly runs faster, has a multitude of issues, such as misrecognition of drivers, so all the sudden your keyboard won't work, or your screen, not to mention that it spies on you, sending all information you input through the machine to microsoft.
This is goodbye.
Re: Good Computer specs
You are actually getting a good CPU. GPU eh not so much. I will be running the same processor with 2 GTX 970s in sli. Bottlenecking won't be a issue for me (I hope). also what type of ram is it? 8Gb is good for gaming but is it DDR3 or DDR4?
As for the GPU, you can for sure upgrade to at least a 970 and not have any bottlenecking issues with the CPU listed. You might or might not have to upgrade your PSU (Power supply unit for that though) the reference card version of the 970 requires a minimum supply of 500Ws.
Everything else looks good for gaming.

Re: Good Computer specs
While the Intel i5-6400 is using the latest Skylake architecture, it's one of the slowest clocked i5s. Try to see if you can get at least an i5-6500 as performance should increase by a decent amount.
NVIDIA's GT 730 is potato. It's actually about as strong as the integrated graphics on the CPU itself. Try to look for something with at least a GTX 950. I'll also note that NVIDIA's GTX 1080 and 1070 are almost on sale as well.
From the looks of it you're buying prebuilt.
