Gaming PC comparator
Free comparator: pick Steam games and your budget (€400–€2,000). PC4Games suggests a desktop or laptop on Amazon. No sign-up required.
Wondering what PC you need for your games? 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.
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.
Our comparator then shows you a list of PCs with a score out of 100 and estimated FPS for each of your games.
Each recommendation links directly to the PC's Amazon page. You check the configuration, price, and customer reviews, then choose your next gaming PC!
Three questions we hear all the time, three quick answers — and the comparator to fine-tune for your own case.
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 →Cyberpunk 2077 is still one of the most demanding games out there: around $1,300, an RTX 4060 Ti or RX 7700 XT with 16 GB of RAM handles 1080p ultra, or even 1440p high with upscaling. The comparator filters Amazon PCs that hold that level of performance.
See the Cyberpunk 2077 page →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.

It cross-references official Steam requirements for each selected game with your budget range, desktop/laptop preference, and Amazon availability. Recommendations are editorial and regularly updated.
For light competitive games (CS2, Valorant, Fortnite on Performance mode), a €400–500 gaming PC is enough. For recent AAA titles (Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Black Myth) at 1080p, budget €600–800. For 1440p ultra, €1,000–1,500.
A desktop PC offers better performance for the same price and is easier to upgrade. A laptop is recommended if you game on the go. The comparator offers both form factors based on your selection.
