Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

I most certainly can...

VGA and HDMI are sufficient most of the time.
It was $499. It's gone up to $599 now. At $499 I thought it to be a very good deal.

Doesn't matter, OS grows after a while. Windows installs updates, hotfixes etc

Trust me 60GB doesn't store as much as you think.. OS + Basic Updates + Paging Files and its almost full. Keep in mind very often drives slow down when they are almost filled to capacity
