Seems like an okay deal. The A6-6400K with 1866MHz RAM is not that strong, but it should run pretty much all games at the lowest settings at least on a normal 1920x1080 monitor.
But how about building your own?

Otherwise I would get this (AMD FX @ iBuyPower):
Case: NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower Case - Red
Processor: AMD FX-6300 CPU (6x 3.50GHz/6MB L2 Cache)
Processor Cooling: Liquid CPU Cooling System [AMD] - Standard 120mm Fan

Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7750 - 1GB - FREE Upgrade to Radeon HD 7750 2GB - Single Card
Free Stuff: [FREE Game Download] - AMD Bronze Reward - Select 1 Free Game - Free with purchase of AMD Radeon HD 7790, 7770, and 7750 Graphics Cards
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 -- AMD 970
Power Supply: 430 Watt - Corsair CX430 V2 - 80 PLUS
Primary Hard Drive: 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive **Free Upgrade to 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s Single Drive**
Optical Drive: 24x Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive - Black

$677

I know it's a bit more expensive, but it performs much better and the parts are all quality. You'll be happy you spent the extra $150 down the road.
