So I have £20 just now and money is tight atm after buying my GPU so I'm stuck on what to get? Should I get BF4? I don't have many good games to play anymore and I played BF with origin game time and got to lvl 16. Or should I buy a new desk from ikea?

Good luck getting a desk that's decent for £20 from ikea. Do you want a table top or table legs? I would go looking around some shops like banardos, oxfam etc for vintage desks. I got my directors chair from oxfam and it's now my designated computer chair as it's so damn comfortable.

You could get an LED strip from Ebay and make your desk look sexy.

But that brownish wood won't match well......

Your desk seems perfectly fine tbh. Lots of really good games out there and many more coming soon so I'd recommend those. Spend or save up is up to you but your setup looks really solid anyways!
