Good system for the price (new / 2nd hand?) Good luck with it, and welcome to PC gaming! What do you reckon you'll play first on it?

Thank you for your reply! I am very excited to get into the world of PC Gaming! Been a console gamer for...ever! Haha.

Although I have bought this laptop for games like Farming Simulator, Euro Trucker and World of Warships, I am hoping it's also good enough to play AAA games like CoD and GTA?

The laptop was Asus Refurbished!

P.S, any games you can recommend would be great!

It should do very well in all those titles.

My tastes in games may well be different to yours - I like open world RPGs, non-PVP shooters, and some strategy titles. So my recommendations may send you to sleep But on the off chance:

Skyrim (special edition) and Fallout 4 are great open world experiences, and the PC platform lets you use mods other people have made to customise them extensively. As well as massive graphics improvements it's like having endless free DLC to choose from.

If your laptop has a 120hz screen, any shooter I guess. Rumour says Borderlands: The Handsome Jack Collection is going to be free on the Epic Games store in a few days. Borderlands 2 is a riot and the others in the series are great fun too.

For strategy, Civilization 6 is free on the Epic Store now. Worth picking up for a taste of the 'just one more turn' franchise. Civ 5 can be picked up much cheaper on sale. I like the Total War franchise a lot too. Rome II could be a good starting point.
