So I have made a fair amount of assassin builds and I'll post my most recent one, and I would say my fav so far.
Race: Dunmer
Name: Dimaga
Main Skills:
Archery, One handed, Illusion and Alteration.
Secondary Skills:
Light armor, restoration
So the reason I like this build is that its pretty versatile, I play it on Master difficulty so it is challenging as well. So I snipe enemies from afar or sneak up and cut their throats. I use detect life to make sure I don't get surprised and Illusion for quiet casting, invisibility and fury spells. Another awesome and fun spell with this build is paralyze. So if I get detected I can paralyze, and turn invisible, reappear behind them for the kill.
Early levels are pretty tedious leveling alteration to 50 for detect life, but it is worth it. (check out http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Alteration_%28Skyrim%29 if interested in how to level it)
So ya its a fun build because you have options. You aren't super one dimensional like only sniping, or cutting throats, you can use illusion to chew down big groups and paralyze for the advantage in one on one open confrontations. And if you get in real trouble, turn invisible and try again.
I also made a build similar to http://www.gamesas.com/user/792871-peppermintosis/'s build. Alchemy is awesome because it can do a lot of different things, like paralyze, invisibility and of course poisons so that's a good option as well.
Hope this helps!
