As someone who spends a significant amount of time at my desk, I’ve learned the value of having a well-organized and productive workspace.

Starting off with my PC

As an avid gamer and performance junkie, I procured the talents of better people to help build me a custom PC, and one of the most used providers is PC Specialist. It is exhilarating to be able to pick and choose all of the components of your PC that represent your desired performance output. Looking up what is new in GPU, CPU, RAMM, and motherboards — as simple as PC Specialist makes selecting these items — there are a lot of complicated, nuanced aspects to the selection processes.

My recommendation would be that you use websites like Geekbench and UserBenchmarks to input the hardware you are looking to get. You might be surprised to find that previous generation products perform better for your used case and could save you a lot of money that can be spent elsewhere.

Montors

So for my monitor setup, I have gone for something that is compact, sturdy, and stylish.

In the last couple of years, I have really enjoyed Razor products, not only due to their build quality but also the look. For my setup, I got two Razor Raptor 27-inch QHD monitors.

The Razor Raptor 27-inch QHD Gaming Monitor is a high-performance display designed for gamers and other demanding users. It features a 27 inch QHD (2560 x 1440) panel with a fast refresh rate of 165 Hz and support for Adaptive Sync technology.

This ensures smooth, stutter-free gameplay and a tear-free visual experience. In addition to its impressive technical specifications, the Razor Raptor monitor has a sleek and stylish design. It has thin bezels and a thin profile, making it a great choice for a multi-monitor setup. It also has a fully adjustable stand that allows you to find the perfect viewing angle.

These monitors are also packed with features that enhance your gaming experience. It has a Game Mode setting that optimizes the display for different types of games, and it has a Low Input Lag mode that minimizes the delay between your input and the on-screen action.

Port Docking Station

I use Lionwei’s Docking Station to keep all of my devices accessible and organized. This convenient device offers USB connections, HDMI ports, USB C, DP, Ethernet, and other features that allow me to effortlessly connect and unplug my numerous devices.

Speakers

I was always a big fan of the 5:1 or 7:1 speaker setups that I used to get as a young kid, but lately, with speaker products in general being very good, I wanted to go for something that is more aesthetically pleasing and that matches the wood top of my desk.

Audioengine’s A5+ Plus Wireless Speakers are perfect for this: Audioengine has brought traditional, high-quality audio equipment into the digital age. Their range of award-winning products have been praised by What Hi-Fi, CNET, and Wired, to name just a few of the publications that have tested their products since 2005.

3 Essential Peripherals

Elgato HDMI Camlink 4K, a Shure SM7B microphone for professional-quality audio recordings, and a Cloudlifter to amplify the signal of my microphone. These tools are important for anyone who makes videos or audio because they make it possible to record and edit information with great accuracy and clarity.

Desk Chair:

The Corsair T2 Road Warrior is probably one of the better gaming chairs that I have used, it is designed for comfort with a wide seat, a tall back, and a deep seat cushion for long gaming sessions (which, as I can tell you, takes a toll on your back!). It has smooth-rolling wheels, but if you’re placing this thing on carpet, make sure to get yourself a mat that protects the flooring. It also has an adjustable seat height and neck and lumbar pillows for support that allows you to maintain a good posture.

Note Taking:

I have two main ways that I like to keep notes:

• Being sort of a hopeless romantic, I still love the feeling of writing down notes using traditional methods, I have consistently used Moleskin notepads and exclusively write with pencil.

• I use a Remarkable 2 tablet to take notes and write down thoughts. I can write and draw with a stylus in this digital notepad, and all of my notes are immediately uploaded to the cloud so I can view them from anywhere

Headphones

I use the AirPods Pro as my primary headphones for their stylish design, excellent sound quality, and convenient features. They offer active noise cancellation and a transparency mode, which is arguably the best on the market. They also have a long battery life and are easy to use with automatic pairing and quick access to all of my Apple products, including my iPhone, iPad Pro, and MacBook Air, which is so convenient that I cannot vouch enough for how convenient it is when you jump from device to device.

Desk Accessories

I have a few desk accessories to help me get through the day. These include a Belkin iPhone charging station, a Huami desk lamp, and a Dyson air purifier.
