Generally speaking it is decent enough to play most games at 1366x768 resolution using medium quality graphics, but performance varies depending on the game. Games that have low graphic requirements like League of Legends and Team Fortress 2 should be playable at 1080p with high or very high settings.

MAYBE...its is so entry level i suspect gaming might be a problem with a gt 940m. i suggest in a laptop you not get anything that doesn't have at least a GTX 860M, GTX 960m or better. Cause even those are underpowered in my opinion.

The 940m is a slightly overclocked 840m. You can see various game benchmarks for both here:

I played with a laptop with a 840m for a couple weeks, and it's actually pretty competent. I mean any gaming laptop will blow it away, but if you're ok with playing at 1366x768 resolution on medium to low settings, it can handle most modern titles. For low-end titles like Minecraft and WoW, it will do just fine.

You can read this E5-573G review (the one that sells for $460 now): http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/acer-e5-573g-review/

What is your budget? I think a good refurbished laptop might be a better option for you
