my first computer build is about to get here, im about to buy an OS but i remembered hearing that windows 8 was better for gaming than 7 however im not doing very heavy new gaming, so is this true? if yes then why?

Games il be playing: Skyrim, Lots of MMOS, slight editing, sims 3, basically a bunch of older titles i didnt get to play when i was a console peasant

Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, is about 5% better in gaming (in terms of fps) because it is written to run more efficiently. If you pair Windows 8, or 8.1, with an SSD, and configure your BIOS to boot the fastest, you can boot your PC in less than 10 seconds.
