Power sockets controlled by one switch

So i am new to electrical wiring and i need some help, so what i want is a wall switch to turn on multiple wall sockets instead of turning on the sockets individually. This is so i don't have to turn each plug on individually for my PC. Can you help me with this?

 

Thanks

No reason to unplug your pc, just let it sleep

 

But you can wire this in your house very easily. Just run the power from the breaker to the switch to the outlets, just run the in parallel.

Careful with loads on the switch though

A switch meant for lighting should not be used.

Only a fused isolating switch meant for electric radiators and stuff.

1) why are you unplugging your PC? Just shut it down and leave it plugged in. There is no reason for power to be shut off.

 

2) If you plug everything into a power bar, then you can just use the switch on the power bar, or plug it into one socket that you control with a switch in your room if you already have that wired up

 

3) if you still need to wire all your plugs to one switch, then you need to pay an electrician to do it because you need to follow a bunch of regulations that are in place to prevent people like you from burning their house down by trying to do house wiring themselves.
