Looking to get my first actual pc. I play on a laptop thats not meant for gaming and it sucks. I dont know too much about computer so i just need to know if this can run Dayz, Arma 3, csgo and maybe some other games.
Btw its a pre built and its fairly cheap and thats what im looking for.

It's awful I would just build my own but if you must get a pre-built
this PC will run cs go maybe Dayz and Arma 3 with lower settings

As Loke said, that is terrible. Please don't buy this. You are going to need to spend more than that also.
I would recommend building your own PC and get some advice on which parts etc you should buy from the PC building forum here on TTG. I would also go on youtube to see how easy it is to build a PC if your sceptical. My friend bought a pre-built without thinking and now he deeply regrets it as he knew nothing about the specs etc and thought it would all be fine just cause the Title stated "Gaming PC" and had a cheap case with a few leds.

As I said on your other thread with the exact same question, no that's a terrible system. You'd be lucky to get Minesweeper or Solitaire to load on that system, never mind an actual game.
You definitely don't need to spend more than that though. If $400 is your budget, then that's your budget.
You could build that PC for like half the price they're charging, but even for that, it would be absolutely terrible.
Something like this would be far better;

You can get a decent kb/mouse combo for like $15 or so ez. Can easily upgrade to an i5/i7. i3-6100 will smash an FX-4300 anyway. Heck, the i3-6100 is a better choice than an FX-8350. Can easily add another 8GB RAM at any point. Maybe spend an extra $15 for a nicer motherboard if possible since that $50 mobo is pretty lackluster in terms of features and what not, but it'll still be fine, and is still significantly better than that PoS pre-built. RX 260(RX 460, not 260, my bad- 260 is still a decent card, definitely better than the 240, obviously, but the 460 should release soon and should be about R9 270x performance for $100 so it's by far your best option) should release soon, will be significantly better than an R7 240. The only reason for the R7 240 is to use if your CPU doesn't have an iGPU. The i3-6100's iGPU would more than likely out-perform the R7 240 in every situation. Nice SSD, because every rig deserves an SSD. PSU is meh, same with the case, but they're both still a lot better quality than you'd get with that pre-built.
