No, they're not "amazing". They aren't really meant for gaming, but are good for apps and other things. Depending on the specs he won't be able to play many games. I don't know why he wanted one for gaming anyway if he did.

They can run some games smooth but are let down by the graphics card.

I assume you're talking about a desktop, and the stock cooler is fine for your needs, unless you want to OC it'll be fine.

No generally macbooks are not good for gaming. My friend has one and he can basically only run indie games
