Im doing this for a friend and i know he is not so techy so i figured he isnt gonna overclock it. Is this alright for gaming? He only plays skyrim and battlefield and is hoping to play watchdogs. Thanks for anyone who replies!

I think that machine will handle those games just fine. Perhaps you could upgrade the CPU to a i5?

 

[Rationale]

Yes, those are quite good specs. The i3-4150 is a bit faster in most games than the FX-6300, and will be a lot faster in Skyrim. So although an i5 would obviously be better, it should still be fine. We really have very little perspective on how heavily Watchdogs will use multithreading or hyperthreading, so it's hard to say how that will turn out.

If just the OS is going on the SSD, a 64GB version would be fine. 120GB will offer room for a few games and programs as well, however.

Windows 8 Professional is overkill if he's not actually going to use the "Professional" part of it, just so you know.
