gaming rig
High-performance play station
A gaming rig is a high-performance computer built or configured specifically for playing video games.
The term emphasizes powerful components—graphics cards, processors, cooling systems—that handle demanding games at high settings.
Rig suggests something assembled or customized rather than bought off the shelf: He spent three grand building his gaming rig.
The phrase applies to desktops almost exclusively, since laptops offer less customization.
