Let me first say, I know relative to current custom builts or upgraded prebuilts, this is a potato. However, I am looking for a potato, so that may be okay. I just want something cheap that I can set up so that my wife and I are able to play WoW together in the same place when Classic launches.

So basically, I'd like to know if this is okay for the price or if I can do better, and will it play pretty system-lite games like WoW at a decent framerate? Our other desktop that we play WoW on was built nearly 10 years ago with an i5-750, has a HD 7970 GHz Edition that my brother gave me a couple of years ago, only 4 gb ram, no SSD... so my standards aren't high!

Thanks for input.

i5, 8gb ram, ssd, dedicated GFX.
It's fine, just don't expect anything above 1080p medium settings ~60 fps.

the power supply does not have the right connection for the graphics card so it uses an adaptor cable, not sure which one tho, little hard to see for the cable mess

but it can be a bad sign, usually because either the psu is low watt and u not supposed to run a gpu on it, or its a cheap crappy unknown psu, or its old af

alot of gpu's still comes with an adaptor cable, which makes no sense:

I have an Antec Eartwatts 650 in my closet from an old PC. I could sub that in maybe, but I don't know if you can swap the PSU out of a prebuilt Dell or if that would be a better fit than what is already in it.

Don't own a smartphone or a computer. Focus on spending your days away from social media distraction and live a great life outside of it. Friends, family, genuine human interaction, not this internet non sense.
