From what I know, sounds like a decent spec, I’m not sure if you’d have cooling issues with something that powerful unless the case is well vented. And I would think it’s spec for gaming or intense design/video editing as for anything else it’s way overkill.
Is this off a selling page or a computer builder? (If a Computer builder ask them if cooling could be an issue, a fan upgrade could play in your favour if they’ve just built to budget, if it’s a selling page you need to ask questions regarding when and where it was purchased from, get details of any parts warranty’s, also ask what stock cooling is ect, I’m assuming from the provided details it’s not a factory built jobby.)

It totally depends on what you want to use it for.

Could you recommend an entry level gaming PC that will mainly be used for things like Sims 4, Minecraft, Roblox, Discord and League of Legends. It won't be used for things like Fortnite, COD etc as my son's not interested in them. I really have no idea
