Would this PC be sufficient for a TPA/MAME machine?

[QUOTE="CheeseUM98, post: 273290, member: 1193"] Hello, all. Relatively new here, most TPA gaming has been on iOS, some on Xbox, but was always interested in building a cabinet for digital pinball, and saw this Arcooda option possibly the easiest one out there. Biggest hurdle for me is that I do not have a PC, have been in Apple land for quite some time. I was searching around for possibly an older PC to run TPA from Steam with the Arcooda unlock key, and most likely double as a MAME arcade cabinet as well. I came across someone selling a Republic of Gamers G20AJ, with: Intel 4790 CPU Nvida GTX 960 8 GB ram 1TB SSHD hybrid hard drive. I more than likely wouldn't do any serious PC gaming, would basically just run it as a dedicated TPA/MAME machine. I have never been much of a PC gamer and don't know much about putting a decent machine together. In your opinion, does it sound like this would run cabinet mode fairly well? Also, what would be a fair price for this machine? Any opinions/input would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
