Hi all,

Okay so I don't know were this would go, or if there's too much content in it.

The idea that I have is a gaming setup for a room that I'm usually playing in. The thought that I have is this...I realize that my 40" TV that I use for playing my Xbox one doesn't get utilized all that much and the couch that I have gets used for a storage shelf. So the idea I have is to rid myself of this issue by doing the following.

1) Get rid of the soft shelf (couch), the T.V., and the TV's stand.

2) replace this with my new concept setup....

 

Concept Setup

With multiple decent sized desks that could support the following hardware....which will go in a corner of the smaller room that I'm setup in.

- a reasonably powerful/silent gaming PC, something that can not only play fully modded games like Skyrim, Fallout4, GTA5. but also games like Crysis at high/ultra settings and still get acceptable framerates at 1080 or 1440p.

- Wi-Fi router and my Comcast modem

- Xbox one. I still like to play games like Halo, Gears of war, Destiny, and so forth so I'd need to get a awesome monitor that I could still play these off of.

-  I still have a Comcast HD cable box so I might need this on the shelf.

- speakers so that I don't always need to listen to my stuff with my Astros

- and finally a couple a really good monitors to run all of this off of.

 

The questions are what kind of hardware to get?

- Gaming PC...

Intel 6700k (or something powerful enough to last) GTX1080 ? what kind of gaming PC will not only handle the games that I want to play, but also handle the size that i'd need to fit it in?

- Wi-Fi...

What kind of wireless access points do you guys recommend for a Gamer who wants to connect things like my IPad (might need to upgrade my second generation one for something new), 3DS, and still have enough Ethernet ports for the Xbox and PC, yep I prefer to connect them wired (and given the distance no point of going wireless for them). I need to replace my current one since it has issues broadcasting 2.4ghz, as in doesn't at all used an app on my phone to find that tidbit out, and that's preventing my 3ds and like devices from logging into it.

- Monitors...

What kind of monitors have you guys have had good experiences with, any that have sound for T.V. and Xbox support?

-Peripherals...

I prefer to play my games with game controllers, I would like to find a hybrid setup that will give me the left thumb stick for replacing AWSD keys for movement, and still have extra keys for hotkeys so that I could still aim with a mouse. I already have a set of Astro A40 headphones, but would it be worth it to upgrade to A50 or something else?

- Chair...

this is a issue that I've experienced for quite a while, I want to find a solid computer chair that is comfy and sturdy. I weight around 350lbs and am 6'4" and I haven't found a really good one that can support my weight and size.

 

rest of the space in the room will be for shelf space, so that I could store my Warhammer 40k collection and DVD/Blu-rays that I still have.

 

Okay so that was a lot of info to go through, but I'd like to hear all your thoughts and suggestions on this matter.

- equipment

- system builds

- etc....

 

Thanks for your guys time,

step 1.... what is your budget?

what's the biggest size monitor your table can handle?

For connectivity, I would recommend using Powerline adaptors such as these:

Better than wi-fi IMO. The only issue with them is you need "clean" electricity/wiring" in your house - if it's an older house you may not get a stable signal.

Budget?

[GreyDeathangel]

step 1 is definitely budget.

    Well i'd say that I don't know what it will be right off the bat...let me explain, first off I wouldn't be going hog wild and building it all at the same time, I wish I could but you all know how it is with life. Lets just say that I'm looking at what the best bang for the buck will be, so no Xeon server build gaming machines $1000 dollar routers just what is the best that an average gamer/person can afford.

 

as for the monitor I'm currently running a Samsung SyncMaster BX2431 24" Display I might want 2 similar sized monitors.

 

As for the connectivity I wouldn't go with the powerline adapters, since the only things that need to be connected that won't be on the desk are going to be my Tablet, and 3ds devices and if I had a way to connect them directly to the router/PC to share the internet I wouldn't need the worry about the 3ds....so I'm stuck needing some sort of Wi-Fi access.
