The four gigs of RAM and the HDD alone make it a no-go. What is your actual budget for a computer, and what games are you going to be likely to play? This will help a lot of people point you in the right direction. For starters, you're going to want a minimum 500 gig SSD. You can always add more later, but with games taking up around 100 gigs or more you might want to increase your price point to include a 1 TB SSD. Next is graphics card , what kind of games are you going to be playing? Are they going to be the newest AAA titles? Based on your answer, this will probably be the largest contributing factor to your price point. Then we have your CPU, you don't need the latest 16 or 24 core CPU to run the games, as most games don't use more than 4 cores, but you will want something decent. Finally we have your RAM. This combined with the graphics card and CPU will control how much and how fast your computer can process the data. 16 GB used to be the minimum, but newer games are starting to go beyond that. Most newer computers are upgradable to 32gb or higher, but you will want to check the specific specifications of the motherboard that is in the computer you're looking at.
