Some people may need to play high-end games on a budget, where GPU and CPU are the most important, and would prefer to avoid paying a premium for high-end power supplies and SSDs, since these really only matter for game loading times during startup and not "in-game" performance. Here, a configurable PC is the obvious option for avoiding overly expensive components for the demanding gamer who wants to build their own PC on a budget.
At Compumail, we put together a great many configurations for our customers, but not all of them are the same. However, we do have some recurring choices that are most often selected in the same setup.
Examples of configurations from us:
Case 1: Gaming PC for the beginner
Many choose a starter build without a dedicated graphics card if it's for light gaming, though you can always upgrade to a dedicated graphics card later.
Case 2: Gaming PC in the mid-range segment
This build appeals to many gamers and is very popular due to its high performance and sharp price.
Case 3: High-end gaming PC for the demanding gamer
A high-end build that allows gaming at up to 360 Hz, in 4K.
The time it takes to assemble a computer depends on several factors and can be anywhere between 1 to 4 hours. Complexity, the number of components, the builder's experience, and preparation all matter a great deal. If you're experienced in assembling PCs, you can get it done faster than if you're a beginner following a guide step by step. At Compumail, you can fortunately let us handle the assembly work, where our experienced technicians ensure your PC is ready to use when you receive it.
A good desktop PC should have a powerful CPU, the right amount of RAM (here we recommend 16 GB RAM), a fast SSD, and a reliable graphics card, so that your new desktop delivers the desired performance for multiple purposes.
Having strong components across the board ensures fast performance for both gaming and work. At Compumail, you can use our PC configurator to choose components that fit your needs and preferences, and avoid incompatible components or so-called bottlenecking.
A good PC is strong and powerful, and if you choose a build-your-own gaming PC, it should have a high-end CPU – we recommend a minimum of 16 GB RAM and a powerful graphics card with high VRAM capacity to run the latest games on high settings without performance issues or low FPS.
Efficient cooling and a good power supply are also important to ensure stable performance during intense gaming, since this naturally requires a lot of energy and therefore generates a lot of heat. At Compumail, you can select the best components to create the ultimate gaming experience.
A build-your-own computer for the office should focus on an efficient CPU, and according to our recommendations should have at least 8 GB RAM, and a fast SSD for smooth multitasking and quick data access.
The choice between Windows and Linux depends on your preferences and the purpose of your PC. Windows is often chosen for its broad software compatibility and user-friendliness, which makes it ideal for gaming and general use.
Linux is popular for its stability and security, and is often preferred by developers and those looking for a more customizable and cost-effective solution. We recommend choosing Windows unless you have specific requirements for the operating system, such as development or server purposes.
The case is the box that houses all your components, and depending on your choice, can give your PC the look you want. Cases come in many different sizes, where the form factor in particular is important. You will also find soundproof cases, which give you a quieter PC, and cases are also available in RGB versions, giving you attractive lighting.
PC cases come in various form factors, which must match a motherboard of the same form factor. These must therefore always match up.
You will find the following form factors:
The motherboard is an important component in your PC, as this is where all components work together. The motherboard has a form factor that must fit the case. Typically, the motherboard is the component where you can save the most money if you're on a budget.
Always choose a motherboard that matches the case you've selected. Using our PC configurator, you can be sure that the motherboard and case are compatible with each other, so that you avoid bottlenecks and operational issues.
RAM is your computer's short-term memory and affects how many applications your computer can handle at the same time. More RAM allows for better multitasking and improves performance for demanding tasks like video editing and gaming. Today, RAM in the range of 16-64 GB is commonly used, as requirements from programs, operating systems, and games have increased significantly.
How to choose the right RAM:
When finding the right amount of RAM for your needs, you also need to consider the type of RAM as well as the form factor (sockets). This can be a challenge if you don't have much technical know-how, but you can easily and elegantly skip this step by using our configurator, which only shows you compatible options.
RAM types:
RAM socket types (form factor):
Below you'll find a table overview of recommended RAM amounts for different needs:
| RAM (GB) | Recommended for: |
|---|---|
| 4 GB | The absolute minimum – enough for older systems, but not recommended in 2025. |
| 8 GB | Light office tasks, light schoolwork, browsing, and word processing. |
| 16 GB | Fine for light gaming and ideal for most users. |
| 32 GB | Perfect for streaming, demanding games, and multitasking with heavy programs. |
| 64 GB | For 3D rendering, AutoCAD, and gamers with highly demanding setups. |
8 GB RAM is sufficient for light office tasks, internet browsing, and students, though it can be limiting for demanding games or programs. 8 GB RAM may be enough for gaming at a beginner level, but you may run into performance issues; fortunately, you can always upgrade the amount of RAM if the need arises.
Yes, 8 GB RAM is often enough for study-related tasks such as writing documents, PowerPoint presentations, and browsing, but it can be challenged when using several heavy applications at once. This is especially true for studies such as design, software development, and programming, which often place higher demands on the student's computer due to the various programs and functions the student needs for their studies.
16 GB RAM is ideal for more demanding tasks such as gaming, video editing, and heavy multitasking. It is the standard for most gaming PCs and often the preferred choice for people who want a standard gaming PC without breaking the budget.
32 GB RAM is necessary for heavy tasks like 3D rendering and advanced data processing, where a lot of memory is required; the most powerful gaming PCs often have this amount of RAM.
If you need to use a demanding program like AutoCAD, 32 GB RAM will be a perfectly fine choice, as it ensures you can work flawlessly with the large files often used in a program like AutoCAD. However, there can be challenges with large setups and tasks, where you would often need to step up the amount of RAM.
64 GB RAM is used almost exclusively by gamers who want the absolute best, or by professionals working in larger, extremely demanding programs.
Windows 11 requires at least 4 GB RAM, but 8 GB is recommended for a smooth experience. Larger memory may therefore be necessary.
The choice between SSD and HDD depends on the need for speed versus capacity. SSDs are faster and improve the system's overall performance, making them ideal for the OS and programs. HDDs are cheaper and offer greater storage capacity for a lower price, which makes them suitable for data storage.
128 GB SSD is good for basic use with the operating system and a few programs, but it can quickly fill up, especially with the accompanying programs, operating systems, and documents, but also if you need to download games or other programs.
256 GB SSD is suitable for most users with ordinary needs, with room for the OS, smaller programs, and moderate amounts of data.
512 GB SSD is recommended for those working with large files, playing many games, or needing space to store large amounts of data. Most gaming PCs come with at least this size SSD as standard, and this may become the minimum requirement in the future, so if you want to future-proof your PC, you should choose a larger size.
This size hard drive or SSD is the most commonly used memory size in a gaming PC today. 1 TB is enough to store most games, and if you choose SSD, it also ensures a quick startup time. Keep in mind that there is usually room to add an extra SSD if the need arises.
The choice of CPU depends on the user's needs. For everyday use and lighter tasks, a mid-range CPU like Intel i5 or Ryzen 5 is sufficient. For more demanding tasks such as gaming and video editing, a more powerful CPU like Intel i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 is recommended. If you need the PC for working on larger tasks, you should choose a workstation CPU.
A newer generation Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU is ideal for gaming at high settings, especially combined with a powerful graphics card and a desire to be able to play without any kind of performance challenges.
Intel i3 and i5 or Ryzen 5 are sufficient for office use, while i7 or Ryzen 7 are good for heavier tasks and higher processor demands. It can vary a great deal depending on the kind of office work you do, since for some it's simply necessary to be able to handle data such as documents and internet-based data, while others, as mentioned, may need a stronger CPU.
For workstations, Intel Xeon or AMD Threadripper is recommended for handling intensive tasks like 3D rendering. At Compumail, you have the option to choose these extremely powerful CPUs for your work, which are especially capable of running extremely heavy programs such as AutoCAD and similar.
You'll find the best CPUs for working in these programs under our category "server processors," which gives you a good overview of the various processors that can handle these tasks. AutoCAD typically uses either one or two cores in its work and has more need of a high clock speed, which these processors can offer.
CPU coolers are essential for keeping your PC cool and preventing overheating, especially during intensive use like gaming or video editing. Air coolers are an economical and simple solution, while water coolers offer better heat dissipation and are ideal for overclocking and high-performance PCs.
There are usually pros and cons when it comes to PC components. Water cooling and air cooling are no exception here, as these are two very different types of cooling.
See below, where we've listed the pros and cons of the two cooling types:

The graphics card is extremely important in a gaming PC, but also in a workstation PC that needs a powerful GPU. The graphics card ensures that graphics and animations are displayed in high quality, working together with the other components.
In our build-your-own PC configurator, you can select precisely the GPU you need for your upcoming PC, whether it's for work in, for example, AutoCAD or large, demanding graphical programs.
If you need a strong graphics card for gaming, you should choose a graphics card with the right amount of VRAM and technology. Nvidia's powerful RTX graphics cards are typically recommended, as they guarantee a good gaming experience; an alternative to Nvidia can be AMD's Radeon series.
If you're on a budget, an AMD Radeon or Nvidia GTX card can work just fine, though you may experience challenges if you play on the highest "graphics" settings when it comes to an older card.
A good GPU is important if you need to work in AutoCAD and deal with large amounts of data, or if you also need to use the PC for gaming. If you only work in AutoCAD and don't deal with the most data-heavy tasks, it can work perfectly well with a smaller GPU. This is because it's almost only necessary to have the best GPUs if you're working with things like 3D models.
If you want a strong graphics card for working in AutoCAD, you should choose Nvidia's RTX A-series, where you'll find graphics cards such as the A2000 and A4000.
For gaming and general tasks, 4-6 GB VRAM is often enough. For high-resolution gaming or graphical work, 8 GB or more may be necessary for optimal performance.
FPS (frames per second) is important for a smooth gaming experience. For everyday work or video playback, 60 FPS is often sufficient. For gaming and graphically demanding applications, 60 FPS or higher is ideal for a fluid and responsive experience.
It's worth noting that you can't get a higher FPS than the amount of Hz your monitor has. If your components can genuinely deliver 144 FPS, but your monitor can only manage 60 Hz, then all else being equal, you won't be able to achieve a higher FPS than 60 FPS.
| FPS | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 60 FPS | 60 FPS has in recent times become insufficient due to higher demands from games. Can be used for Minecraft and other low-FPS games. |
| 144 FPS | 144 FPS significantly enhances the gaming experience and is often considered the minimum requirement for modern games. |
| 360 FPS | 360 FPS provides an extremely smooth gaming experience and is often used by competitive gamers, where reaction time is crucial. |
| 540 FPS | The best of the best. 540 FPS is used primarily by professional esports players with monitors that support 540 Hz. For regular gamers, it is rarely necessary. |
60 FPS used to be fine for most games, but today it is relatively low and really only makes sense for low-FPS games like Minecraft, where it provides a smooth and good gaming experience.
Yes, it's ideal for fast-paced esports games like CS and Fortnite.
It's overkill for most people, but relevant for serious gamers with 360Hz monitors.
The best of the best for gaming becomes possible using a 540 Hz monitor, where you can achieve FPS of up to 540 FPS, which as a rule is used exclusively by professional gamers who require the very best. This is typically far more than the average gamer needs.
For games like Fortnite and CS, 144+ FPS is ideal for getting the best reaction time and gaming experience; at the professional level, it has become quite normal to use up to 540 FPS. For World of Warcraft, 144 FPS has recently become necessary, the reason being that the newer generation of gamers is getting used to a minimum of 144Hz monitors, and 144 Hz is thus considered the standard today.
The amount of FPS is determined by your monitor and computer's performance; however, you can never achieve a higher FPS than the amount of Hz your monitor has. You should therefore choose at least a 144 Hz monitor, which you can also buy here at Compumail.
Bottlenecks occur when a component in the system, such as the CPU, GPU, or RAM, limits the performance of the entire system. For example, a powerful GPU can be held back by a weak CPU, reducing the overall gaming or work experience; you can avoid this by using our build-your-own PC configurator.
At Compumail, we can help ensure that your chosen components work efficiently together to avoid bottlenecks and maximize your PC's performance.
