How good the PC for gaming
1) Internet speed? No spec PC will do well without a solid connection. I understand that usually goes without saying, but I'm throwing it out there anyway.
2) Windows 8...ehhh. If it were my harddrive I would reformat that to windows 7. But thats just me. Personal preference.
3) 600W power supply? Of all the parts of a PC to pinch pennies on this isn't one of them. 600W is too low to be reliable. You'll burn that sucker out. 900W at least.
4) If you have the cash to spare, bumping the 8GB of RAM to 16GB would be prefered, but it's pretty low on the priority totem pole
I agree with Foote, although if you don't have a spare license for Win7 around, look into something like Classic Shell. It'll make Windows 8 work a bit more like Windows 7. Really, the Start Menu is the BIGGEST annoyance, and that's what Classic Shell fixes.

Or just wait a few months for Windows 10, which will hopefully fix the worst of 8's crimes.
