It isn't top of the line, but it's decent. What was the trade though? That's what matters more on if it is even or not.
Also, the processor may be due for a change desu.

an older riding lawn mower, while i use that, i am pretty interested in this PC.
How outdated is the CPU?

Well it really isn't outdated, just room for improvements if you wanna turn it from okay to fair.
This'll let you know some details. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-FX-8370-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6600K/2983vs3503
I think the i5s are solid as hell for regular gaming.

Damn maybe i will invest in a new mobo and that CPU, thank you.
The rest of the rig is okay, or anything else i should invest in? haven't PC gamed for 10 years and wanna get it right this time

If you REALLY want to get back in, I say run this for a bit, see if you like it or if there are huge issues with your games. If there are, scrap everything and start from scratch. It may seem daunting at first but usually people will help you if you just ask. (They like geeking out about their builds.)
