Which retail gamer shops in Oslo to visit?

[dkashes]

Hi :) 

Soon I will be visiting Norway for the first time in years. I have family there and my cousin turns 11 in january. I wish to buy him a really good gamer PC. I prefer to shop in real shops but I have no idea where in Oslo to go. 

Could someone please help me out? I would like to know about more than one shop that has gaming equipment.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm not particularly familiar with retail shops in Oslo, but there is at least one that builds custom PCs and that is more enthusiast focused:

Digital Impuls in Møllergata 9

Other than that, there are the usual electronics stores all over the country, like Elkjøp and Power, that has pre-built systems, components and peripherals.

You could also visit Komplett store. Komplett is an online retailer, but they have a store in Oslo city centre. I think they mostly sell peripherals and smaller stuff in the store, but they have a "pick up point" for their webshop next door. If you go there and talk to their sales people I am sure they will help you order from their webshop and you can come back to pick it up the next day.

Store is located by the city hall.

Btw welcome to Oslo! Make sure to drop by the tourist information centre in the "Østbanehallen" at Oslo Central Station, they'll help you make the most of your stay.

Thanks a bunch guys! 

I really appreciate the help. I am not too keen on Elkjøp, Power and so forth. But Digital Impuls seems to be a good place to go.

If there are any other ideas with smaller shops that are maybe more personal and hardware oriented, please tell me about them!

- It does not have to be in Oslo, it can also be in other cities, somewhat close by.
