FlowUP gaming PC: assembled, tested and ready to play
Buying guide 2026: what a gaming PC is, how it’s designed in Belgium, and how to choose yours based on your games, your screen and your budget.
A gaming PC, or gaming computer, is a computer built to run video games smoothly: a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX or AMD Radeon graphics card, a responsive Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processor, fast DDR5 memory, an NVMe SSD, and a power supply capable of handling the load for hours. Unlike an office PC, a gaming PC is built around its graphics card: it’s the component that enables gaming at 1080p up to 240 frames per second, at 1440p with ray tracing, or in 4K on the latest AAA titles.
FlowUP is a PC assembler for gaming PCs in Belgium. Each gaming computer in the range is assembled by hand, tested under full load and optimised in our workshop, then delivered ready to play in Belgium, France and Switzerland. From Cheap gaming PC to get started in Full HD with a high-end gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 5090, every configuration follows the same rule: the graphics card determines the gaming level, and the processor, memory, power supply and cooling are aligned with it. The result is a balanced gaming PC, without bottlenecks, that leaves room to evolve. If no configuration matches your needs exactly, our custom custom gaming PC the machine to match your image.

Choosing criteria for a gaming PC
The graphics card sets the gaming level. Five other components determine how long your gaming PC lasts, how loud it is, and how easy it will be to upgrade.
The gaming PC’s graphics card
The graphics card is the component that makes the difference in games and the one that weighs most heavily on the price of a gaming computer. The first criterion is video memory: 8 GB of VRAM are still enough for a 1080p gaming PC, 12 GB become the baseline for 1440p, and 16 GB is a must for 4K. The same chip sometimes comes in two capacities, such as the RTX 5060 Ti or the RX 9060 XT with 8 or 16 GB: the 16 GB version will age much better in newer games.
GeForce RTX 50-series bring DLSS 4 and its multi-image generation; Radeon RX 9000 answers with FSR 4. In both cases, your gaming PC gains dozens of frames per second without losing sharpness.
The processor of a gaming computer
The processor feeds the graphics card with images: if it’s too weak, the GPU has to wait and the frame rate drops. That’s the bottleneck you eliminate on every build. FlowUP gaming PC by pairing the right CPU with the right GPU. The Ryzen 7 X3D and their 3D V-Cache are the best gaming processors of 2026: higher and, above all, more stable frame rates in competitive games, simulations and open worlds.
The Core i7 and Core Ultra 7 bet on the number of cores: the right choice for a gaming PC that also serves to stream, edit videos, or work.
Motherboard and socket: the upgradability of a gaming PC
The socket determines which processors and memory your gaming PC will accept later, without changing the motherboard.
- AM4 (Ryzen 5000): DDR4, lower entry cost, ideal for a budget gaming PC, limited upgrade options.
- AM5 (Ryzen 7000 and 9000, including the X3D models): DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, and AMD keeps the socket supported until at least 2027. The best choice for an upgradable gaming PC.
- LGA 1700 / LGA 1851 (Core 14th gen, Core Ultra 200): hybrid architecture, performance cores and efficiency cores.
System memory for a gaming PC
Two memory sticks are better than one: dual channel doubles the bandwidth available to the processor. 16 GB are still enough for a 1080p gaming PC; 32 GB of RAM have become the standard for a 1440p gaming PC, a gaming PC for streaming, or big open worlds. With DDR5, a well-tuned 2 × 16 GB kit with XMP- of EXPO-profiel enabled at the workshop is better than four sticks that hit a frequency ceiling.
SSD storage
A modern gaming PC boots from a SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 4: Windows opens in a few seconds and loading times drop dramatically. One AAA title today takes 100 to 150 GB; 1 TB is therefore the real minimum for a gaming computer, and a second free M.2 slot lets you expand your game library without touching the system drive.
Power supply, cooling and case
A certified 80 PLUS Bronze to Gold power supply, sized with some headroom, protects everything else in your gaming PC. The RTX 5080 and 5090 use the 12V-2x6 connector, supplied natively with ATX 3.1 power supplies.
A air cooler is enough for 6- and 8-core processors; a 240 or 360 mm AIO watercooling supports the X3Ds and the most demanding Core i7 models. The case determines airflow as much as aesthetics: a mesh front lets the graphics card breathe, so it runs slower and with less noise; a “aquarium” glass case showcases the build, but forces you to use correctly positioned intake fans.

NVIDIA or AMD gaming PC, Intel or Ryzen?
Both camps offer excellent gaming PCs in 2026. Here’s what really sets them apart.
GeForce RTX gaming PC
From the RTX 5050 to the RTX 5090, NVIDIA covers the entire range. The advantages of a RTX gaming PC: the DLSS 4, the most advanced ray tracing and path tracing, and the NVENC AV1 encoder that makes every GeForce configuration an excellent streaming gaming PC.
AMD Radeon gaming PC
The Radeon RX 9060 XT, RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT deliver a strong performance/price ratio in 1080p and 1440p, often with 16 GB of video memory for a reasonable budget. The FSR 4 provides upscaling, and pairing it with a Ryzen makes a coherent, upgradable AMD gaming PC.
Intel or AMD Ryzen gaming PC
For a pure, high-framerate gaming PC, the Ryzen X3D lead the way. For an all-round gaming machine that encodes, streams and gets work done, the Core i7 and Core Ultra make the most of their many cores. FlowUP includes both brands and always pairs the right processor with the graphics card you choose.

The duels that come up most often
Comparison charts we’re asked for every week before buying a gaming PC—settled in a few lines.
RTX 5060 or RTX 5070: which gaming PC should you choose?
The 1080p gaming PC benchmark: very high framerate in Valorant, CS2 or Fortnite, AAA titles on high settings, with a controlled budget between €1,000 and €1,300.
The 1440p gaming PC: high settings, comfortable ray tracing, DLSS 4 to target high refresh rates, budget between €1,700 and €2,300.
Our recommendation: 1080p display and a tight budget—the RTX 5060 is enough (or a RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB to last longer). 1440p display, or if you want to do it within the year: get the RTX 5070 straight away.
RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT?
Better ray tracing and path tracing, DLSS 4 with multi-image generation, NVENC AV1 encoder for streaming. A bit pricier for comparable raw power.
Rasterisation performance very close, FSR 4 for upscaling, 16 GB of VRAM, and often the best performance-for-price for a 1440p 165 Hz gaming PC and up.
Our recommendation: heavy ray tracing or streaming—RTX 5070 Ti. A controlled budget and gaming in high-frequency 1440p? Go for RX 9070 XT.
Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Core Ultra 7 265KF?
The best gaming processor of 2026: the 3D V-Cache boosts framerates and delivers more stable “1% low” results in competitive games and open worlds. Upgradeable AM5 socket.
Twenty cores for heavy multitasking: video editing, rendering, and processor-encoded streaming. Very strong for gaming, but behind the X3D when framerate is the only thing that matters.
Our recommendation: if gaming comes first, go for Ryzen 7 9800X3D. More gaming plus content creation—Core Ultra 7 or Core i7.
DDR4 or DDR5 gaming PC? 16 or 32 GB?
On AM4 or LGA 1700 platforms, DDR4 is still the choice for a cheap gaming PC: 16 GB is enough for gaming at 1080p, and every saved euro goes straight to the graphics card.
On AM5 or LGA 1851, DDR5 delivers more bandwidth and opens the door to newer processors. 32 GB is the standard for a 1440p, 4K or streaming gaming PC.
Our recommendation: under €1,300, DDR4 16 GB without hesitation. From €1,500, DDR5 32 GB for a gaming PC that lasts.
Air cooler or AIO liquid cooling?
Quiet, reliable, no maintenance: a good tower air cooler is enough for a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 rated 65 to 105 W, and keeps your gaming PC nice and discreet.
Lower temperatures under long loads, essential for the more power-hungry Core i7 and i9 “K” models, and a polished look in a glass case.
Our recommendation: air coolers for most 1080p and 1440p gaming PCs; an AIO for high-end setups, high-power processors and the RGB setups.
Gaming PC or console (PS5, Xbox Series X)?
Lower entry price and absolute simplicity, but fixed power for the whole generation, games often capped at 30 or 60 frames per second, and a closed catalogue.
144 to 240 FPS, free graphics settings, mods, Steam, Epic and Battle.net libraries, and a machine that also lets you work, stream or edit videos. Component-by-component upgradable.
Our recommendation: from €800 to €1,200, a entry-level gaming PC already does more than a console, and it grows with you instead of being replaced with the next generation.

Price, FPS, power consumption, lifespan: the benchmarks before you buy
The numbers to keep in mind when choosing your gaming PC, and what a FlowUP gaming PC has extra.
How much does a gaming PC cost in 2026?
The price of a gaming PC depends first and foremost on its graphics card. Budget €800 to €1,200 for an entry-level 1080p gaming PC, €1,200 to €2,300 for a mid-range 1440p gaming PC, €2,300 to €3,800 for a high-end 4K gaming PC, and more for a premium configuration around an RTX 5090. Today, a pre-built gaming PC rarely costs more than buying the same components separately—and it pays for itself in 2 to 12 times with Alma.
How many FPS with a gaming PC?
In 1080p, an RTX 5060 gaming PC goes over 200 frames per second in eSports games and holds 60 to 100 FPS in AAA titles on high settings. In 1440p, an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 gaming PC targets 100 FPS and above in most recent titles. In 4K, an RTX 5080 gaming PC runs at between 60 and 120 FPS with DLSS 4. The measured performance is shown on each product sheet.
How much does a gaming PC consume?
The power rating on the PSU is a maximum capacity, not the actual consumption. While gaming, a gaming PC mainly uses what the graphics card and processor demand: around 250 W for an RTX 5070, 300 W for an RX 9070 XT, up to 575 W for an RTX 5090, plus an additional 60 to 150 W for the rest. On the desktop or during browsing, a gaming computer drops to a few tens of watts.
How many years does a gaming PC last?
A well-balanced gaming setup lasts 4 to 6 years while gaming with no intervention, and even longer with a mid-cycle graphics card upgrade. That’s the advantage of standard components in a desktop gaming PC: RAM, SSD, GPU and the processor can be replaced on any of our towers. Minimal maintenance: dusting the filters every six months, up-to-date graphics drivers, and keeping an eye on temperatures.
Desktop gaming PC or gaming laptop?
With the same budget, a desktop gaming PC always delivers more performance, runs cooler, makes less noise and can be upgraded one component at a time for years. A gaming laptop PC only makes sense if you really need to take your machine with you: mobile chips are limited in power and cooling, and only the SSD and sometimes the RAM are replaceable. If your gaming computer stays on a desk, choose a tower.

Everything starts with your screen: its resolution determines which graphics card you should aim for—and therefore your budget.
- 1080p (Full HD), from under €1,000: a RTX 5060 or a Radeon RX 9060 XT gives you high FPS in Valorant, CS2 or Fortnite, and lets you run recent games on high settings.
- 1440p (QHD), around €1,450 to €2,100: with a RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB or a RTX 5070, the image becomes noticeably sharper without sacrificing smoothness. It’s the best compromise for most players.
- 4K, from around €2,400: you need at least a RTX 5070 Ti to enjoy single-player games in very high quality.
Our advice: invest first in the graphics card—it’s the component that makes the difference in-game. Still unsure? Compare our Gaming PC by budget or write to us: we’ll recommend the setup that fits your games.
Building your own PC can seem cheaper, but in 2026 that’s no longer really the case: with the surge in RAM prices, buying parts one by one is often more expensive than buying an already pre-built PC. And you still have to make sure the components are compatible, that the processor doesn’t bottleneck the graphics card, that the power supply is enough, and that the PC doesn’t overheat during a full gaming session. Not to mention the assembly, possible boot-up problems, and having to contact a different manufacturer for each part if something breaks.
With a FlowUP pre-built gaming PC, we take care of everything: components chosen to work together, careful assembly, and stability and temperature tests under full load before shipping. You receive a pre-assembled PC ready to play, with a single 2-year warranty covering the entire machine and support that responds within 48 hours. You plug in, you play. To go further, read our full comparison.

Yes: your PC arrives with Windows 11 already installed, in trial version. For gaming, it changes nothing: you turn it on, create your account, and then install Steam, Epic Games or Battle.net right away. Everything works normally, without time limits.
“Trial version” simply means that Windows isn’t activated yet. The only differences are a watermark “Activate Windows” at the bottom of the screen and a few blocked customisation options (wallpaper, themes). To put everything in order and remove them, just enter a Windows 11 licence key—without reinstalling anything. Everything to know about the trial version.
Yes. For every PC in our catalogue, you have 14 days from receipt to change your mind, without having to justify it.
- Contact our customer service to report your return.
- Return the PC in its original packaging: keep the packaging carefully—they protect it during shipping.
- Your refund is processed after we receive and check the PC.
Custom-built PCs, made according to your requests, may be excluded from this right. All terms are detailed in our Terms and Conditions.
That’s our top priority. Each PC travels in double packaging: an air cushion inside the case immobilises the components, especially the graphics card, and a second reinforced cardboard box protects the parcel. The shipment is secure and insured via UPS.
And if, despite everything, something goes wrong:
- Package visibly damaged upon delivery: refuse it and report it directly to the carrier.
- Problem discovered when opening: contact our after-sales service within 5 business days with photos of the package and the PC, and we’ll find a solution quickly.
Yes—this is exactly what a gaming PC is all about. Our PCs are built with standard market components, in cases that leave room. In a few years, you’ll be able to:
- upgrade to a new-generation graphics card;
- add more RAM—for example to reach 32 GB;
- add an SSD to expand your game library.
You upgrade your machine instead of replacing it—where a console is fully repurchased with each new generation.
That’s exactly why our custom gaming PC service exists. Streaming, video editing, water cooling, RGB, display case: we design the machine that looks like it’s made for you.
- You tell us about your games, your use, your budget, and the style you want.
- Our team will suggest a balanced configuration, tailored to your needs.
- We assemble it, test it at full load, and ship it to you ready to play.
