I don't have a direct answer, because I don't game.

Now, what I can say is that Linux can be *more easily* configured to run leaner than Windows. If you know what you're doing, or follow the correct tutorials, you'll be able to make Linux run as few processes as necessary.
It used to also be true that Linux was more stable, meaning requiring fewer reboots and being able to achieve legendary uptime. As near as I can tell, this is still true. However, Windows has (honestly) made some great improvements over the years.
So, it boils down to you and what you do, more than anything else. Is this your desktop computer, or are you talking about running a Minecraft server? Either way, your graphics and other specs aren't really all that great for gaming. I'd suggest keeping your expectations within the realm or reality. Irrespective of the operating system, you're still constrained by the maximum performance of your hardware.
Give it a shot. You can dual boot easily enough. If you like it, learn more about Linux and stick with it. You really don't need great technical expertise to run most modern Linux distros.
