A PSU from brand computer is not that reliable. Even if it is 80+, it is cutting the edge.
Power consumption: 150W
Recommended PSU: 500W
AMD Radeon RX 480 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
CPU (65W)
Motherboard
RAM
GPU (150W)
Optical drive
SSD
HDD
Wifi card
USB peripherals (including others you may plug in later, like a charging phone)
If you add anything to the system (especially if the PSU isn't rated for 300W continuous), you may experience issues while under load like Crash To Desktop, Blue Screen, or complete system restarts that you might not get with a larger PSU. It all depends on how well the system reacts to peak loads over the PSU's rated capacity.
That all said, the system has a warranty and probably will work if you don't add anything to the system.

Don't forget warranty, and it's much easier to just plug this in and get going. Buying parts on sale, waiting for shipping, putting everything together, and hoping everything works the first time is too much hassle for most people. Troubleshooting parts of the system if it doesn't work is even more of a hassle and headache, so this is a very good buy for entry level VR and 1440p gaming. Inexperienced builders that buy parts without fully checking to see if everything is compatible is common.
