Whats trhe generation of the Core i5,the gpu is kinda okay for gaming

It's pretty good if the CPU is a quad core, an equivalent new system would be around ~$600 USD

the 1060 what version is it ?

and judging by motherboard thats a haswell cpu. 

for playing fortnite, its good enogh, for unity ( specially HDRP ) absolutely not. 

i dont know if its 8 or 16 ( it looks like 2x4gb) ram, thats not enogh.

if you just want to mess around unity and learn it, doing anything computationally not heavy , its ok , it would be painfully slow but ok.

anything more look for something else

I'm just curious as to what this random On/Off switch is being used for.....

Haswell uses DDR3 but it doesn't matter. 16gb is 16gb

Likely from the Cathode Tube Lighting
It would probably be powered by a 4Pin Molex, and this ON/OFF switch for your evening preferences.
