Is this a good start?

Hello, I am planning on building a gaming computer but instead from starting from scratch, I plan to buy this

would this be a worthy investment for possible upgrading in the future?

It's a very old system to be honest. The upgrades that you would need to do to play the newer games these days require WAY more performance. It's like like taking 1 step forward, 2 steps back in my opinion.

You could build a better system for the same price. I would say not to go for it.

I would not get it. You can get a newer Intel Conroe/Allendale based system for the same price and have better performance. The only thing that is worth about $100 in that system is the CPU as they are hard to find. I had that motherboard and its a great board its just that socket 939 has been dead for almost 2 years now.
