Does it do what you want it to? If so then yes, if not then no.

it might be able to handel roblox but i dont think the gpu can handel counter strike 2, fh5, and valorant. which is why i plan to upgrade the gpu to a 6700XT or a 6800. Also maybe i should upgrade the storage to 1tb instead of 256 gb

At 1080p the 1060 will handle CS2 and Valorant fine, FH5... if it's the 6GB version it should be okay, FH5 just insists on a decent bit of VRAM. RAM won't make much of a difference tbh, unless you're upgrading the CPU or need more capacity, I wouldn't bother buying new.

 

6000 series is a good GPU upgrade to shoot for, Nvidia doesn't really offer anything that's decent value for rasterization performance (any gaming stuff that isn't ray-tracing basically) vs AMD's stuff other than the 3060/3060 Ti.
