Can I game (2014-2019 games) with a CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 OC @ 3.31Ghz, and a RX570 with 8GB DDR2 RAM at 1080p?

I don't see why not I wouldn't expect it to be hitting over 100fps at anything over low/med settings but if you're just playing Minecraft/casual E-sports at low/med settings it probs will be an OK experience. Would you mind listing what types of games you want to play?

[Kanna]

You would be Lucky, some low end games should run but any newer probs won't

[mahyar]

yeah games like doom 2016 an re2 remake should work

All depends on how CPU-intensive the particular game is.

You can run most of them, though a few newer games require the AVX instruction set which your CPU doesn't have and I don't expect you'd be anywhere near 60FPS for the Triple A games due to CPU bottlenecks, if you are thinking about buying this configuration I suggest you don't, otherwise you might manage with what you already have.

Depends on the game,but most of them will run fine.

Don't let random strangers on the internet decide what you can and can not do.

 

In all seriousness, you'll be able to run most games, okay-ish. Some newer games require AVX, which your CPU does not have.

Intel released a software that emulates AVX and SSE 4.2 for old processors,here is an example:

That's interesting I have never heard of AVX emulation, though it runs very slow which isn't practical as a solution
