    Thank you for the tips. I am definitely wanted to update the looks of my PC. It's also windows 10 with a theme. So hopefully that's ok.

    Looks fine to me. You might want to invest in a good ergo chair, since you didn't mention or show pictures of that. I know from my own experience that sitting in an uncomfortable chair for long periods definitely destroys motivation. I'm not talking about one of those abhorrent "gaming chairs" that look like a bucket seat of a race car, but a good, ergonomic chair rated for 8+ hours of use. They're not cheap, although you can find deals or buy used. Worth every penny of investment though.

    A setup can be satisfying, but don't expect it to motivate you to do work.
    At some point, you just have to force yourself to do it.
     
    To be honest, the top of the desk looks better than mine, because I just have a random mouse and keyboard.
    Here is, what I did differently:
    I went for a single 1440p monitor, because 27 inch is big enough for me to not need another monitor.
    And I love my case (Fractal Design Define R6) for it's professional look and it's quality.
    My spirit is not to buy everything NOW and get something low quality.
    My spirit is to get high quality stuff, one thing after another.
    So one day, everything will be high quality.
     
    You put a lot of effort in the top of your desk and less money/effort in the PC itself.
    I guess it's a budget question here. Stock cooler and a functional case works, but of course it can look better.
    So no offense, but in my opinion: Very nice top of the desk, rainbow puking acrylic box under the desk.
    You could also get Windows 10.

    Use DNSJumper to find the fastest (it has a fastest DNS finder) and easily switch to it. Cloudflare is usually good.

    For me cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) is the fastest but I like to use quad9 (9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112) because It offers malware protection and the speeds stop making a difference after a certain point.

    Fastest isn't usually too important these days as most if not all routers will cache DNS results.

    I used to be able to feel the difference between a faster and slower DNS server, literally can't any more even though my router does FULL DNS so IS a DNS server, the slowest option.

    I am trying to find the fastest and most secure DNS server to replace the stock Telus ones with. If anyone has some suggestions I would really appreciate them. Thanks in advance.
