Probably not much for the price and the relevant information (what a CPU) is not there.
Since the thing does not have an external but processor-integrated graphics, you have to adjust to very few FPS. I would also make sure that you have an SSD. A low budget proposal:
Buy an old office computer with a strong CPU and then upgrade the graphics card. You can often shoot GPUs well on eBay.
Inside is an Intel Core I5
If I didn't buy, I'd rather save a little and then buy one for you
Which are there many i5s?

If you want to have the PC for games, I recommend "leave it". This is an office pc. Badly expandable, weak power supply. You only get annoyed later. I've already done this with a used Dell, it just takes too much time.
Usually does not work because the power supply and the case do not play with.
Since this is a designated office / business PC, high gaming performance will certainly not be achieved. The computer would be completely undersized for intensive calculations (integrated graphics unit of the CPU is not designed for such demands).
If you ask the seller for the exact model name and invest a little money, you could maybe upgrade the box (4 cores Core-i5 would still work) with the purchase of a corresponding graphics card.
Without further information, at first glance, I would not consider major game titles.
You don't have to buy an SFF or USFF. I also have a normal office power supply and a 1650 on it. You just have to be careful about the power supply of the graphics card. You get a maximum of 75W via the PCI slot.
I had a Dell that actually came with a normal ATX power supply. Actually, because only very short power supplies fit into the power supply receptacle, there was a metal rail in the housing that prevented the installation of larger power supplies and there were also some superstructures on the mainboard that made use of the PCIex16 slot for a longer graphics card (and it was sooo long) not at that time) made impossible (in the x4 it fit: facepalm. The PCs are designed for the office, they should belong here and there and they should stay. Making a gaming PC out of them is simply too much effort.
Yes, that is right. Or buy another housing. Then everything goes in there.
Then I did it. Then to find out that the Dell assignment of the connection header… Took some getting used to. I had to find the switch by trial and error. And then of course the new housing had no "housing is open" switch, which further complicated the whole thing. All in all completely fun-free. In the meantime my son prefers the hand-me-downs, especially since his sister, who is two years older, does not have too high demands:-).
