Things needed for a nice gaming setup

[InsertName]

Got a decent amount to blow on amazon. Thinking a usb hub, monitor arm for my monitors, a headphone stand that can stick under my desk. Anything else you'd reccomend?

external DAC and some really good headphones to boot

[HanZie82]

RGB for the desk.

Maybe an XL mouse pad, temp/usage 5in desk screen

I have a nice £120 headset already, how much of a difference would that make?

if the parts in your bio haven't changed. get a new cpu/mobo/ram

This or when are able to good pair of speakers 

I only recommend monitor arms for 2 or more display setups

And good mice and keyboard is number one priority

Not much. Headsets generally don't have great sound.

I'd just stick to your original ideas. The desk mat is a great one as well; I love mine. Better speakers maybe?

Depends on how much music you're listening to

some, often clears up audio compared to chipset DACs. 

 

you might also want to look into a seperate mic.

Can I get something better than them for £150-180?

Air conditioning.

schiit is really good. not sure if the fulla is something, but that's for the audio enthousiasts here. I'm just a gereral tech guy here. rgb is always a good touch aestaticwise. monitor arms do work great, using one right now for my two monitor school setup (not listed below btw). and this sounds stupid, but get a bannana stand for your headphones, it actually works

Do what I did, nail a wall hanging hook on to the side of your desk to hold your headset.

Alternatively you can get door pulls from the hardware store that look a bit nicer that you can screw in to the side of the desk.

@InsertName I didn't see this mentioned, but might be outside of the budget you are working with... Get a nice chair. Nothing makes your gaming setup nicer than a good high quality chair. I don't mean one of those "gaming" chairs... get a nice commercial grade office chair. Now be prepared to spend 300 or more for a nice one.. in some cases 600+ is easy to do on one lol.

 

You should start by looking at something like a Herman Miller Aeron chair or similar.

Don't buy on amazon unless you want to pay the almost $1200 price of retail.
