First, you need to learn about PC specs and what's actually in your PC. "Optiplex 16gb" doesn't quite say much, except how much RAM you have. You need to know:
Once you know what each of these things is and which ones your PC has, you can look at any game page on Steam under "System Requirements". There will be a list of "minimum" and "recommended" specs. If the parts in your PC meet at least "minimum" specs, you can play the game, but probably after turning settings down so it performs well enough. If you meet or exceed the "recommended" specs, you can play the game very well at higher settings.
Often times it's really the GPU that determines if you can run the game well or not, but the other specs are still important.
If you don't know what some of those parts are or how they compare, you'll just have to Google it. Over time you'll come to understand how parts compare to each other.
It's a bit like knowing basic information about your car. Some people are driving around out there without having any idea of what's under the hood. How many cylinders in the engine? What the displacement? Is it turbo charged or naturally aspirated? Knowing about PC specs is kind of like that.
There are tools, and rules of thumb which can help. And most issues you might run into that aren't simply insufficient/unsupported hardware can usually be resolved.
