Hello everyone, i want to hear your tips that i can use to improve my setup.

 

Everything is on a 120x60cm Ikea LINNMON desk.

 

I have my PS4 sitting on top of it and my PC sits below it with my PS4 on the left and games on the right.

 

Currently i have a 22" 1080p IPS LG Monitor, CM Quickfire TK Mx red, Logitech g303, Steelseries Qck+ mousepad, Takstar HI2050's modded to have detachable cable.

 

Is there anything i can improve on?

 

My budget is £140 max.

Brazzers year sub is only £76.95, fam. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Pictures would make it a lot easier for us, so we're sure it's not pink and green. So we know how much space is actually available and what condition the stuff are in.

Whatever you do, don't add another 7970ghz and crossfire it ... :ph34r:

 

In this case I think I would save you £140 and put it towards a stronger build

If you don't feel like anything is missing at the moment, then instead of looking hard and finding something you don't really need to spend your £ 140, why not save it and add it to the budget for that new PC coming soon? That amount could become a better graphics card, a nicer chassis, quieter fans, a higher capacity SSD, or a number of things you might actually want...

Does the Linnmon table wobble much for you? What type of flooring are you on? I'm considering purchasing this table.

Also, I would sell your monitor and get a 34" ultrawide because they're gorgeous.

Not with normal use, only if intentionally.

That would be great but considering it would cost as much as the pc I'm buying... I would die for a 3440x1440 acer 34" but i just can't get it :(
