Should I buy a gaming PC with a 5050 8 GB or not?

So, I was looking for a cheap gaming PC that can handle current games at acceptable settings, and I ended up finding this setup in a used PC:

  • RTX 5050 8 GB
  • 32 GB DDR5 RAM
  • 1 TB SSD/HDD. It doesn’t say if it’s NVMe or not

The price is really good, but my friends keep telling me not to buy it because they say the 8 GB on the graphics card hardly runs anything decently. Is that really true? What do you think about this build?
