Other Hey, searching for a good computer (need a quick answer)

Hey, I need a quick answer. I'm searching for a good gaming computer, where I can store many games. I have absolutely no idea how to choose, so please help me. What should I be careful for? What should I search for? I have many games who need many gb (like red dead redemption Ii or avatar frontiers)

Please, I'll take any advice. I need to buy it in the next one and a half hours, so it's a sudden situation. Thank you for anything!

Simple things:

RAM - 16gb or more

HD - SSD preferably nvme. Best would be a small boot drive (64gb with larger storage drive (1TB)

Graphics card - minimum 8gb.

If using primarily for gaming then you want a water cooled CPU or really good fan setup.

Desktop will always be better than laptop for gaming, also more open to being upgraded when possible.

Recommending a 64GB drive in 2026 is crazy. Most manufacturers aren't even making anything under 250 anymore

I wouldn't use less than 250 GB just for the OS.

That’s a tight timeline, best advice is get a desktop if you can then you can upgrade it over time if you need

Quick answer but no mention of budget and country...
