Its specs

No, it is not a gaming machine the specs says it is an HP Pavilion - 15-ec1021ax. HP has many Pavilion Gaming series, Omen gaming series and Victus (cheaper version of Omen) gaining series.
The specs of your machine is OK for low and middle games but you still need few upgrades.
1. RAM: It has 8 GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB). You can upgrade to
- 16GB: add same existing 8GB RAM to slot 2 or using compatible RAM such as https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct8g4sfra32a/ct19569524
- 32GB: install 2x16GB compatible RAM such as https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/bl2k16g32c16s4b/ct19569504
2. STORAGE: Add M.2 NVMe SSD to your machine, moving Windows and apps/programs to it and keep it as boot drive then use existing slow 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA for storage only. You can use M.2 NVMe compatible SSD such as
