How to use the gaming PC comparator?
Wondering what PC you need for your games — Fortnite, GTA 5, CS2, Warzone or a recent AAA? The comparator analyses the games you select and cross-references their official Steam system requirements with your budget range. It works out the hardware level you need — CPU, graphics card, memory — to play comfortably.
From that analysis, the tool filters pre-built gaming PCs actually available on Amazon, both desktops and laptops, and keeps only the configurations that match your games and your budget. In a few seconds you get a shortlist of ready-to-use machines, without comparing dozens of spec sheets yourself.
Still unsure which gaming PC you should buy? Start broad: pick two or three games that represent what you actually play, set your real budget, then narrow down with the form factor (desktop or laptop) and brand filters.
You can also start from a game page: open Phasmophobia or Forza Horizon 6, review the official Steam requirements on the sheet, then launch the comparator with that title already pre-selected — a quick path when you know exactly which game you want to size a build for.
1. Choose your games and budget
You pick your games and budget ($450 to $2,200). PC4Games fetches each game's official requirements via the Steam API, cross-references them with prebuilt PCs on Amazon, and recommends the best configuration. In seconds.
2. Compare configurations
Our comparator then shows you a list of PCs with a score out of 100 and estimated FPS for each of your games.
3. Buy your PC directly on Amazon
Each recommendation links directly to the PC's Amazon page. You check the configuration, price, and customer reviews, then choose your next gaming PC!
Real-world examples
Three questions we hear all the time, three quick answers — and the comparator to fine-tune for your own case.
What PC do I need for CS2 with $900?
Around $900, aim for a recent Ryzen 5 or Core i5, 16 GB of RAM and an RTX 3050 or RX 6600: CS2 runs at 1080p with 144+ fps, ideal for competitive play. Select Counter-Strike 2 in the comparator with a $750–1,000 budget to see the models available on Amazon.
See the Counter-Strike 2 page →What PC do I need for GTA 5 and FiveM with $1,100?
GTA V story mode runs from $550–650, but GTA Online, mods and busy FiveM servers need more RAM and a fast SSD. Around $1,100, an RTX 3060 with 16 GB RAM and 100+ GB free on SSD handles FiveM and roleplay comfortably at 1080p. Run the comparator with Grand Theft Auto V and a $900–1,200 budget.
See the GTA V page →What PC do I need for Fortnite with $550?
Fortnite in Performance mode runs great on a $550 PC (GTX 1650 or equivalent, 16 GB of RAM). To enjoy the Unreal Engine 5 effects at a smooth 1080p, aim for $650–900 instead. Run the comparator with Fortnite and your budget to weigh both options.

Comparator vs PC configurator — what's the difference?
A configurator assembles parts one by one (CPU, GPU, RAM…). The PC4Games comparator starts from your games and filters complete prebuilt gaming PCs on Amazon — faster if you want a ready-to-play machine.
