How do you work out if your PC can run a game?

I always end up staring at the system requirements on the store page with no idea how my parts compare. Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660 Super, 16GB. Is there a simple way to check before buying?

check the RAM line on the requirements as well. a lot of newer games list 16GB, and with 8 you'll get stutter even when the GPU is coping fine. task manager > performance tells you what you've got.

Easiest honest way is to search benchmark videos for that exact game with a 1660 Super. Loads of people record fps with their settings on screen, and it beats guessing from the store page, which is vague and usually conservative. For your parts: the 3600 is still fine for most things, the 1660 Super is the limit. It sits a little under a GTX 1070, so if the minimum spec lists a 1060 or 1070 you'll be at 1080p on low to medium. What catches people now is VRAM. It only has 6GB and some newer games want 8GB even on low.
