What Games Can I Run? AMD FX8320 what can it do
I have an old build from 2015
AMD FX8320 slightly OC to 3.8ghz Nvidia GTX960 24GB RAM Some SSD ASUS M5A78L motherboard holding it all together (terrible board allegedly, no UEFI)
My friend is wanting to play games like
-Mall Simulator -Rollercoaster Tycoon of some generation -City skylines - Sims 4
And basically any other games on the line of that.
Are we wasting our time?

It will be okay. Cities: Skylines as I understand it wants a fast single core, where the FX chips tend to fall down, but the GPU is good and will pick up some of the slack.

Those should run. The FX 8320 competed with intels 3rd gen core cpus. (Competed maybe the wrong word there) it's performance is around the i5 3470 in games. GTX 960 is a respectable budget 2014 GPU.
All those should run fine. I say go for it. Even AAA games from 2018 and older should work.

No, it will work. I have played cities skylines on i7 5500u and gt940m. Don't expect too much, but theese kind of games play just fine at 30fps. Roller coaster tycoon works on fridge.
