If the computer he is talking about is a laptop and if he plans to hibernate it (what basically means zipping the content of the central memory and saving it in the swap) from time to time, then he should have at least as much swap space as central memory.

Otherwise, I completely agree with the main point everybody is raising: the proposed root partition is far too large, whereas /home is far too small. I have a few games (Hedgewars, Neverputt, SolarWolf and Supertuxkart) installed on my system and my root filesystem only requires 5.7 GB (i.e., 52% of the 12 GB I chose when partitioning)...
