How to Build the Perfect Gaming Setup on a Budget
You don't need to spend thousands to get a great gaming setup. Here is where to save and where to splurge.
Prioritize the display
A 1440p 165Hz monitor offers the biggest upgrade in how games feel. Excellent options now cost under $250.
Don't overspend on RGB
Lighting looks great but adds cost without improving performance.
Invest in a good chair and desk
Comfort matters for long sessions. A sturdy desk and ergonomic chair are long-term investments.
Audio
A wired headset in the $60–100 range sounds excellent and avoids battery worries.
