With a GPU added and a PSU that can handle it, for sure! As it is now?  No, it has only an iGPU :)

Some information on the IGPU.

As stated before, a dedicated graphics card is better.

If you want to upgrade things in it, you might also have to upgrade that 300W Power Supply.

But without adding anything can it at least runs some games like counter strike, any fallout dota 2, rust and skyrim

It should run the Windows calculator OK, but no guarantees 

/s

 

check the link - that site is actually great for providing actual measured game performance at lots of different graphics settings levels.  Only downside they may not have checked older games with this chip.

what are somes games ill be able to play?

 

By my standards, according to the list on the link provided, none.  But maybe there are more not shown (in fact I know there are many games not shown, like older ones).  Check the link out yourself and check out benchmarks of older games on older cards that this is similar in performance to.

What this dude said.
You're not going to have a good time playing games as it is, but it's a pretty good start. A 950 or 960 would do you a lot of good.
Or if you're going super cheapo, a 750ti would do.

Intel i7 4790k, EVGA GTX 980ti, NZXT H440
Intel i5 7600k, Asus GTX 970 DC Mini, Silverstone SG13B
HTPC: AMD Phenom II X6 1045t, EVGA GTX 770 FTW, Fractal Node 604

looks like it will rock FIFA 11 (the 6850M gets 60+ fps on ultra at 1080p and is similar according to the site)
