Hello, will this be enough memory for a Gaming PC ?

1x SSD 150GB (FOR WINDOWS 7)
1x 2TB HDD (Storing the Games)
1x 2TB HDD (Playing the games on)
1x 2TB HDD (Recording and storing the gameplay)

Thats not how software works, when you install software to a location that is where it both lives and runs off of. Unless you have an enormous library of games 1TB should be enough for your game library, this is up to you though. Take the money you save from not buying another 2TB drive and invest in a larger SSD. You can throw some games on it that have long load times for a better experience.

Check out the Crucial MX100 lineup, they have a very good price to performance ratio right now.

Memory for a PC is usually referring to the RAM available. That could be system RAM, which is generally recommended to be 8GB. The other type of memory in a gaming system is the RAM the graphics card has. That is a function of the resolution of the display(s) being used. A 2GB video card is generally sufficient for single monitor gaming.

I am not sure what the "2TB for Playing games on" does. Once they are stored they are played in the RAM the CPU and GPU have available.

I thought that the pc would be faster if I put a hdd for hosting the games and a hdd for storing the games

Hi Sir,I am Bharath from India.I think I can help you out.HDDs are SLOWER than SSDs so Storing your Primary OS,Important Softwares,Most Played Games will defenitly help you out.The Loading,Launching speds will be much Faster.Games you never play or play ocassionally can be stored in your 1 TB HDD.Some Movies,Songs,Games and All can be kept in your HDD.Thank you

Agreed. The delta cost from a 128 to 256GB SSD should be about the same as the 2TB disk you aren't buying. Samsung SSDs have very nice software included with them.

From your questions, the included software bundle with the SSD is probably more useful than the ABSOLUTE maximum performance.
