Is the Nvidia GTX 745 with 4 GB GDDR3 dedicated RAM good enough for casual gaming?

Hi. So basically a computer was ordered for me that comes with Nvidia GTX 745 that comes with 4 GB of dedicated video RAM. The computer was around £500 (I am not exactly sure how much it is). I think it designed to be a gaming computer. Whenever I search up this graphics card, not enough information really comes up. I have looked at reviews of it but I don't understand anything (I am not really a computer expert). I just want to use this computer for casual gaming. Not hardcore gaming. Like I probably won't be using this computer to play like the high end detailed games there is out there. A few examples of the games I want to play are:
Minecraft (obviously)
Portal 2
Bioshock infinite
Castle crashers (steam edition)
Left 4 Dead 2
and maybe some others since the computer comes with a 1TB hard drive so I can download more. So is this graphics card good enough for casual gaming. Like the examples above type of games and not Crysis 3 type of games.

The specs of the computer:

4th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-4460 processor (4-cores, 6MB Cache, @ 3.1Ghz and up to 3.4GHz w/Intel Turbo Boost

Windows 8.1 (64Bit) English

NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 745 with 4GB DDR3

8 GB RAM

1TB (64MB Cache) 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s
