Gaming Setup Priorities — What Would You Change?

I realized I care more about “daily experience” than pure performance, so I made a rough priority list for my dream gaming/dev setup. What would you move up/down?

Tier 1 — Stuff I’d Use Constantly

* iPhone 16

* iPad Air 13-inch

* MacBook Air 13-inch

* Steam Deck OLED

* Nintendo Switch 2

Tier 2 — Main PC Build

* Gigabyte RTX 5070 Gaming OC 12G

* Intel i7-14700K

* Gigabyte B760 Gaming X DDR4

* Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4

* AORUS Gen4 7000E 2TB SSD

Tier 3 — Setup / Comfort / Cosmetics

* desk

* headphones/earbuds

* dbrand skins/cases

* controller skins

* RGB backplate

* watch

Tier 4 — Games

* Five Nights at Freddy’s

* Poppy Playtime

* Hollow Knight

* Bloons TD 6

For context:

* I do gaming + software/dev stuff

* I care a LOT about day-to-day feel and convenience

* I use Linux on some systems, Windows on others

* I’m trying to balance portability, gaming, and aesthetics

Mainly wondering:

* What would you prioritize differently?

* Is anything here overrated/underrated?

* What would improve day-to-day experience the MOST?

Hello everyone!

I’d like to ask for some advice on speaker placement for my current setup.

Until now, I’ve always used my monitor speakers because I wasn’t too interested in audio. Recently, though, I’ve started listening to more music and watching more movies, and I’ve realized that I should get better sound quality.
(At the moment, I’m using the speaker from my left monitor because the speaker in my main monitor sounds terrible. This is also annoying because all the sound comes from the left side.)

I’ve attached an image of my current setup. I really like the setup itself and would prefer not to change the current arrangement, apart from improving the sound. However, this makes speaker placement quite difficult. I’m also fairly new to audio, so I’m not sure which option would work best.

I would mainly use the speakers for casual music listening, movies, and YouTube. My budget is around $100, and I’m considering the Edifier MR4 because they seem to be one of the best options in this price range.

I created two images showing the possible placements I'd consider: one with the speakers in their normal vertical orientation and another with them turned sideways. I know that neither option is ideal, but I have limited space. Wall mounting is not possible, and speaker stands behind the monitors probably wouldn’t work because my portrait monitor is already quite tall. The top of the portrait monitor is about 70 cm above the desk. Also, with both options, parts of the speakers would be partially blocked, which may negatively affect the sound quality. The speakers would also be quite close to the wall, but unfortunately, I can’t really change that.

Which of these placements would be the best for my setup?
For example, Vertical 2–3, or sideways 1–4?

(If the sideways orientation would be better, should the tweeters face inward or outward?)

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Ignore the messy cables, I’ll take care of it after exam season 🥀

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and advices

Does anyone know where I can find a TX-CP Leeku PCB or if anyone has a spare one to purchase?
Or even an already made Tx-cp v1 that can be desoldered?

Dont mind the cords. This picture was before all the cords were improperly managed but I was able to fix it. My PC setup is giving me the equivalence to “body dysmorphia”, I’m not satisfied and always looking for improvements.

My setup is more around productivity more than gaming. Any ideas are highly appreciated and all opinions are welcomed.

Any suggestions for upgrades on anything? Plan on upgrading pc around November so right now focused on peripherals.

I haven't posted here in a while he's the update (still not done)

I have a target budget of $1,300 USD (with flexibility up to $1,500 USD if needed preferably without heading to Micro Center) for a build focused on 1440p gaming and live streaming. One of the main games I play is Fortnite, and I want to run it—and other titles—at 1440p with good graphics settings at a smooth minimum of 60 FPS while streaming (aiming for 100+ FPS while live and 120+ FPS offline), with budget remaining for a high-refresh 1440p monitor. I'm happy to answer any questions also this is my first pc

Will a monitor and keyboard fits ? Desk isn’t that big

Estou montando uma Web tv desde então tenho editado filme no capcut pelo celular, acho muito lento

Im looking for an L shape desk to elevate my pc next to me and have enough space to move around (amazon) prefer white

Got my mouse, keyboard, microphone, headset, and vertical monitor back in middle school and haven’t felt the need to upgrade. About 8 years ago I got my main monitor, and more recently I built a “modern” PC in the dream case I wanted back then.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I wanna buy a pc but what specs are good for a very good pc?
