Top 8 Best Pieces of Gaming Equipment
If you’ve enjoyed gaming as a hobby at any point in your life, then you know how important it is to have the equipment to back up your skills. Whether you’re rolling deep with your squad in Call of Duty: Warzone, or taking part in intense strategic battles in Total War: Warhammer III, you’re going to need a few peripherals to get the most out of those games.
If you’re looking for the hardware to build out your next battlestation, then you’ll find some of the best parts available on this list of the Top 8 Best Pieces of Gaming Equipment. When you’re ready to dominate the competition regardless of what you play, break open that piggy bank, and let’s get started!
8. ODK Computer Desk
The first and probably most important piece of equipment you’ll need for any successful battlestation is a desk to hold all of your pricey hardware. This computer desk from ODK clocks in at 63 inches in length, which will give you plenty of room for not just the important things, but also your gamer memorabilia.
All of your POP! And action figures can live harmoniously with your monitor and PC tower without getting too cramped. The desk’s surface is made of high-quality materials that make it both scratch and waterproof, so no need to worry about those little spills.
7. Logitech G915 TKL
Next, you’re going to need a keyboard. There are basically infinite options depending on what your preferences are, but if you want something simple that will give you great performance and look awesome while doing so, then you should take a look at the Logitech G915 TKL.
Like all of Logitech’s high-end keyboards, it uses its Lightspeed Wireless system for a connection as strong and stable as a wired connection while not sacrificing battery life. This G915 TKL can last 40 hours on a single charge, for instance. The TKL part of the G915 means it is more compact due to losing the number pad. This is great if you are trying to maximize the space on your desk and tend to not use number pads anyways.
6. Logitech G502 Lightspeed
The computer’s mouse is your primary method of input for the machine, so you don’t want to skimp on this hardware either. Thankfully, Logitech also makes some of the best gaming mice in the industry, and the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is the perfect accompaniment to the G915 TKL.
As its name suggests, it also uses the same Lightspeed technology for its wireless connection, but it also has several other features that make it a great gaming mouse. This includes things like 1:1 tracking, a max dpi of 25,600, and 11 customizable buttons you can program as hotkeys for whatever games you enjoy.
5. Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
To be completely immersed in your game, you’re going to need a sound delivery device. You could use a set of speakers, but if you’re going to be playing as part of a team online, it’ll be much easier to get a headset, which combines headphones with a microphone for easy communication.
The recently released Arctis Nova Pro Wireless takes the crown from Steelseries’ previous top-of-the-line wireless headset, the Arctis Pro Wireless. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless boasts incredible features like High Fidelity Drivers, Spatial Audio, and even active noise cancellation. But, the ace up its sleeve is probably the Multi-System Connect feature that allows you to actively switch between multiple systems if you have them all connected.
4. HyperX Quadcast S
If you decide to forgo the headset, you’ll still need a microphone for your battlestation, and the Quadcast S from HyperX is up to the task. It has the same high-quality USB condenser as the standard Quadcast but adds several features on top. Its dynamic RGB lighting, tap-to-mute, and internal pop filter make the Quadcast S perform incredibly well while fitting in nicely with just about any aesthetic.
3. MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X
Graphics cards are still kind of difficult to get a hold of, but things are getting better. If you want the most powerful card on the market at the moment, then your only real choice is the Nvidia RTX 3090Ti. This specific 3090Ti from MSI is their SUPRIM X model, which serves as their top-of-the-line series of cards. To back up the extreme power this card can push, the SUPRIM X has been designed to use MSI’s TriFrozr 2S fan system, which uses 3 specially designed fans to keep the card cool and quiet even at max performance.
2. Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide Gaming Monitor
In order to get all of the sharp visuals out of your gaming PC, you’re going to need some kind of screen. If you want to have the most real estate for your desktop and an almost panoramic view of the game worlds you’re going to explore, then you’re probably looking for an ultrawide monitor. If that’s the case, then you can’t go wrong with this Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide.
Its screen clocks in at 49 inches on the diagonal, and has a 1000R curve which is designed to match the curvature of the human eyeball to reduce eye strain. The panel uses Samsung’s QLED tech, which puts it in spitting distance of the kind of picture you’d get with an OLED panel. The G9’s QHD resolution also strikes a great balance between performance and visual quality, as 2560x1440p is likely to give you higher frame rates than a full 4K resolution.
1. LG C1 48”
Depending on the amount of space you have for your computer screen, you might default to a standard or even an ultrawide monitor like the previous entry on this list.
However, if you want the best possible experience for your interactive hobby, then what you’re looking for is an LG OLED TV. This model is specifically the 48” C1 from 2021, which has been used by Twitch streamers and YouTubers as a dedicated gaming monitor since its release. The 4K OLED technology the TV is built with imbues it with an infinite contrast ratio and perfect blacks, while still keeping all of the colors bright and vibrant with pin-sharp resolution.
This C1 also has extra features like the enhanced Game Optimizer and a host of refresh rate technologies like G-Sync, FreeSync, and VRR. As long as you have an OLED, you can rest assured that you are getting the most out of the rest of your gaming equipment.
