Hello,
I'm soon purchasing a new pre-built PC, and while the specs seem good enough for the minimum, I just wanted to fully verify if this could be something that's capable of running a majority of GC games at a tolerable level. (Doesn't need to be terribly great, I only really want a fair framerate)    Not interested in Wii.

If you're talking about USD, the cost is way too high for those specs, that would be equivalent to a $400 self-built computer
like capitalistspz said that overprice in usd it could vary depending on you country. It would be enough for most of wii\gamecube games, However it will do better if the memory is in dual channel especially for internal resolution up-scaling.

Dual channel is already preset.  Also, i forgot about the fact im ordering it with a keyboard and moniter.  The build actually just costs 700 alone.
To should you how overprice it is here a link if you were to build youself https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GvDvvW is almost the same as that except the motherboard is better. and it cost only 557 I would go for 16gb though with add about 30 dollar https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7CCQMc . Even with 16 gb of ram it still only cost about 590. I also included the cost of windows 7 at around 100 dollar also. There no keyboard or mouse but you can get both for around 20 dollars. You would have to possible do a bios update though. Here on on that isn't as fast in peak clock speed but has a more cores and has a 1650 also for pc gaming https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FVLN9G that cost 700.74 after rebates. That said if you don't want to build it isn't a bad option.

Take out Windows 7. You don´t want to use that these days.
Sorry about that the build posted before have window 10 home. I just mistyped hit 7 instead of 10. Whoops. Also spent about 2-3 minute per example. I sure the possibility of something better is there and that not factoring 3rd party CDkey site that you could get window 10 legally cheaper I hear about.
