What’s the point of having a legendary gaming rig if you keep it tucked away on a dusty shelf, surrounded by empty crisp packets, and in a place most mortals would wish to vacate?
With more and more gamers finding their gaming room becoming a workspace, it’s more important than ever to make your gaming setup not just nice, but practical, and perhaps a little cool.
Beyond your desktop tower, every PC gaming setup has a few key elements:
One of the best gaming monitors
A great gaming keyboard
An ergonomic gaming mouse
One of the best gaming headsets
Each of these elements can be customized to suit not just your desktop’s aesthetics, but also your gaming space, and express who you are as a gamer. Of course, you’ll also need somewhere to place these gaming peripherals, which brings us neatly onto…
Depending on how much space your gaming room or cubby has, you’ll want to look at everything from a corner desk, to small gaming room ideas, to something more bespoke… We’ve seen everything from full terrariums, aquariums, and even entire cooling setups built into some of the best gaming desks out there.
Of course, this is entirely dependent on your budget, and something as simple as an IKEA gaming desk with some RGB lighting can get the job done just fine.
While a gaming desk setup can decide how much room you have for additional monitors, headset stands, SSD backups, and other neat setups, ultimately you’ll want to be gaming in comfort. This is where you’ll want one of the best gaming chairs on the market to park yourself down.
A simple computer or desk chair could be all you need, but an adjustable seat with lumbar support, built-in speakers (not advisable as headsets are way better), and a massage function (definitely not essential, but oh so gratifying to have) can utterly transform your gaming experience.
We run the biggest community on Facebook for sharing gaming room setups, so long as you ignore the overshadowing Reddit gaming setup channel R Battlestations.
Every gaming setup we publish has a related post on Facebook where you can discuss, compare, and compliment some really wacky, spicy, or downright niche configurations.
