Worth it for gaming in 2017? - Dell XPS8910-10420BLK w/ i7-6700 & GTX 750 Ti

Looking for a ~$900 PC for gaming? Ok, lets have a look at this black minimalist looking Dell XPS desktop computer. It has a pretty good Skylake i7 processor, but the graphics card released in early 2014 and it is 2 generations old (launch price was 149 USD, dropped to around 99 USD, around same price as faster and newer GTX 1050).

"It costs much less than some other 4GB video cards and this game I'd like to play only requires...

The CybertronPC seems to be a good deal at first glance, at least for an average person, but unfortunately it is quite the opposite when you try the newest games. A high clocked 3.8GHz processor (4GHz with boost), 8GB of RAM, 1TB of storage and AMD Radeon HD 8470D graphics card look pretty good on paper, but in reality the pretty weak dual-core AMD cpu and integrated graphics are not suitable for most modern games. Let's take a popular game like Witcher III which requires a minimum 3GHz AMD quad-core processor and a AMD Radeon HD 7870 graphics card (like other popular games like PUBG etc).
