Need advice! Would this work for FFXIV?

Hi guys, long time no see! I've got a question about a desktop and was wondering you thoughts on it. I'm playing on asus laptop that I've had for 2 wonderful/amazing years!

I'm wanting to switch to a desktop as I am worried that if I keep pushing my laptop that I might have the same thing happen to it as it's predecessor (video card burned out). I know this laptop is a beast but I think it be better to move to a desktop so on days when I go out of town or go visit family, I can just use the laptop.

This is a desktop that I'm eyeing, I think it's a good price and specs look better than my laptop. Could you guys look at it and tell me if it's worth paying. I see that the video card can be upgraded to 1080 but it has to be the founders edition.

Link doesn't work but if you're referring to this one (https://www.amazon.com/Compact-Deskt...ds=ROG%2BG20CB) then I would advise that you just buy parts and build your own for almost a third of the cost and you will know it in and out. If you've never built a PC, its pretty easy and first timer tutorials can be found on youtube. I build a new desktop pc specifically to play FFXIV (because my laptop was dying) and some other non super demanding games for about $500 bucks. (i3 6100, 8 gb ddr4, gtx 1050ti, opted for an HDD and will add an SSD next month.) I will probably upgrade my processor in the near future but for now, I play ffxiv on max settings DX11 at 60+ fps constant. Good for me but some people might have other preferences.

I prefer custom built though. just my 2 gil.
