Ram is decent for gaming? What I should modify/change? Psu? Case? Cooler? Etc.? It works well with windows 10? Sorry for english and thank you.

If the PSU is 600w, you don't need to change anything.
It's very good machine.
the CPU is roughly equivalent to i7-2600 - it is still good for gaming, so you your GPU choice depends on your monitor resolution.
for 1080p, i'd say a GTX 1070 would be great, for 1440p at least GTX 1070, preferably better.
