(2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Short answer:<\/strong> A gaming computer<\/a> is chosen based on four things, in this order: what you play, what resolution and frame rate you want (1080p, 1440p or 4K), your budget and how long you want the computer to last. The graphics card (GPU) is the single most important part for gaming performance, followed by the processor (CPU), and then memory (RAM) and fast storage (SSD). A good rule of thumb: put the largest part of your budget on the graphics card, have at least 16 GB of RAM and an SSD, and choose a computer that is upgradeable.<\/p>\n

At TNS Gaming you always get 1 year warranty<\/strong> and free shipping<\/strong>, and you can configure the computer with optional RAM and SSD before you buy. You can also pay with Klarna (split or pay later) or Swish.<\/p>\n

Desktop gaming computer or gaming laptop?<\/h2>\n

Short answer:<\/strong> Choose a desktop gaming computer<\/a> if you want the most performance for your money, quieter cooling and the ability to upgrade. Choose a gaming laptop<\/a> if you need to be able to bring your computer or are short on space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For most home gamers, a desktop computer is the better choice. A laptop is right if portability is more important than maximum performance.<\/p>\n

What parts are most important in a gaming computer?<\/h2>\n

Graphics card (GPU)<\/strong> \u2013 most important for gaming. Decide what resolution and frame rate you can handle. If you have a limited budget, prioritize the graphics card.<\/p>\n

Processor (CPU)<\/strong> \u2013 second most important. Feeds the graphics card with data. A CPU that is too weak can bottleneck a strong graphics card, especially in 1080p and in games with a lot going on at the same time.<\/p>\n

Working memory (RAM)<\/strong> \u2013 16 GB is the minimum for modern gaming today. 32 GB gives you margin if you stream, have many tabs open or play the most demanding titles.<\/p>\n

Storage (SSD)<\/strong> \u2013 always choose an SSD, not a hard drive, as your system drive. Games load faster and your computer feels faster overall. 1 TB is a good starting point; large game libraries will want more.<\/p>\n

With us, you can increase RAM and SSD as an option directly when you configure your computer, so you don't have to upgrade yourself afterwards.<\/p>\n
