Daddy needs a desk

I am very low on sleep and very high on energy drinks and the title about ruined me, so help me out here.

I have an ATX Mid tower, will be investing in two monitors of at least 24 inches, and also have a 32 inch TV with a PS4 that I need to fit on a desk as I am moving to a very consolidated apartment. L shaped desks and corner desks are optimal as I want to maximize space without taking out an entire wall with one piece of furniture.

So if any of you have any suggestions, or any decently priced sites to share, I would appreciate it. Trying to spend as little money as possible before compromising quality is a problem.

Specific specifications:
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
MOBO:  Gigabyte Aorus Ax370-Gaming K7

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2x8)
STORAGE: Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD, Samsung 960 Evo M.2 SSD, 10x12 unit in a gated lot

GPU: Gigabyte Aorus 1080ti 11GB
PSU: EVGA G2 650W Gold
CASE: Be Quiet! Pure Base 600
MOUSE: Razer Death Adder Overwatch Edition
KEYBOARD: YES
MONITOR: WIDESCREEN TELEVISION, BABY
WALLET: $3.50

Get those table tops from IKEA with 4 legs. You'll probably need two sets of those as it'll appear you'll need at least two tables for all those displays.

Furthering the IKEA advertisement going on here... you can also go to their kitchen section and pick out (or have a piece custom cut for you) a wooden counter top slab, and affix some of their desk legs to it. This will allow you to get something much bigger than your standard IKEA desk and you won't have to mess around with multiple tables. This approach will cost a bit more than their smaller desks, but it's an option. Especially if you want something fit to your exact size specifications.

 

I believe JayzTwoCents on YouTube made a video a while back doing this, I'd link the video but I'm at work.

I use a Banquet Table for my desk, and it works perfectly. I have plenty of room for my things. You can buy a large one, and a smaller one for your needs. Here is a link to something like I use Banquet Table at Amazon It is very sturdy and looks great in person. I like mine.
