Recently picked up a new PC, wondering how it would do for gaming

My specs:

Windows 10 - 64 bit
Intel Core i5-4670k
Intel HD Graphics 4600
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
8 GB RAM
Samsung SSD 840 pro

I bought this PC mostly for work, but I’m curious if it would run games at a decent rate. I don’t really know much about computer hardware so I thought this might be the place to ask. Thanks!

Should do ok. Is the GTX960 the 2GB or 4GB variant?

It would run all the newest games in Full HD 1080p at a decent frame rate, but you would need to be mindful of having medium-ish settings or even low settings in some games. It really depends on the game. The GTX 960 is similar to a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, except the GTX 960 comes in 2GB and 4GB variants. The 2GB would perform less than a 1050 Ti and would require you to lower graphics settings.

Your CPU could even handle a better graphics card if you thought you might need it. Would need to check your power supply though; although a GTX 1060 uses about the same power as a GTX 960.
