I'm making an arcade machine, I want to turn the switch all (light tube, TV and computer). But I want to be sure what I'm doing and not blow all

switch -> relay -> devices

or read the damn datasheet

He doesn't need relays. It's a 4-pole switch so it can turn four things off and on without them being electrically connected. He doesn't even need multiple poles if everything plugs into the wall.

So, what's your question?

The switch shown in OP is a dpst. You could connect, at most, two circuits to power.

Of course, you could connect all three items to a power strip, then use a single pole single throw switch to apply power to the strip.

What is that switch rated? How much current does everything draw?

Other then splitting the loads between the two poles on that switch, you could put a time delay on the computer. So the display and lights would power up first and then the computer 5 seconds later. Just to keep voltage dips from messing with the computer boot. But this might be overkill unless the light/display load is high.
