intel i3 6098p/6100

Can I run high end games on intel i3 6098p combined with gtx 950/960 and 8gb ddr4 ram?

Yes you can. If you can get a GTX 1060 though, it's a better value for money. If I may ask, where did you get an i3 6098p? I haven't seen one anywhere.

itdepot.com in india. My monitor resolution in 1336*768. I want to run these games at optimum graphics. What should i do?

You should just buy a GTX 1060 and you're ready to go. The i3 would be a bottleneck in games like GTA 5 in 720p resolution, but don't worry about it. You wouldn't get below 60 FPS.

gtx 1060 i ok then. I want to run latest games too. Which intel processor should i get then?

If you already have the i3 6089p, then you don't need to buy a new processor. But if you haven't bought one yet, get the i5-6500. Great value for money.

Iam planning to buy. I want to play latest and future games too. My budget is limited. Will i3 6100 3.7ghz with GTX 1060 be enough for latest and future games too?

It should be fine for the next few years, however nobody knows what situation will be after that. On one hand- CPU manufacturers will be releasing CPUs with more cores than now, because possible IPC gains and clock gains will be very limited after Kaby Lake.
On the other hand- new APUs like Vulkan and DX12 reduce the requirement for the CPU power. Also, game consoles released this year and next still have very weak processors- so multiplatform games should work fine with current desktop processors for next ~6 years.
With situation like this- I think i3 is a very good choice, because it is fast enough right now, is quite cheap, and allows playing games in the next few years without over-investing into unknown.
Regarding the GPU- I'd recommend RX470-RX480 instead of GTX1060. They are just as fast in new games, but have freesync, which makes them way better.
