Show me your gaming pc setups?

[Strat]

There's some amazing setups in here Thought I would share mine as well. It's currently in a very minimal state to the original pic as we are living in a smaller rental until we finish building our new house. My setup will be returned to its former glory when that happens and (hopefully) improved/upgraded a little too

I don't have my PC built yet as of yet. Currently installing my fans realizing I messed up w/ one extra I didn't need and another I needed but didn't get an extra of. It'll still run, it just means I learned my lesson of don't shop while you're tired!

But I can list the specs:

ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI 6E Socket AM5 (LGA 1718) Ryzen 7000 ATX (Motherboard)

Every cent..... I have had three of them now (because.... they keep bringing out too many awesome designs and I couldn't settle on just one). My first was the Titan in the first couple of pics, then we bought the missus the Softweave Throne which, while being too small for me, was super comfy to sit in. Now I have my Akali Edition Omega and it's the best!!!

While prices have increased exponentially over the past couple of years, it's a telltale sign of "you get what you pay for". The leather seats are great, but not that good in humid weather (which we don't get a lot of here thankfully). They tend to peel after a while IF not maintained properly/often enough. The Softweave fabric is amazing to sit on, unless you sweat heaps/it's a hot day..... there's trade-offs on both, but I would recommend them to anyone who has the budget to spend. Mine still looks as good as new 2 years later and my Titan when I sold that (made money on it too btw) looked the same. The cold cure foam base holds up really well. I sit in the chair at least 3-4 hours a day and it has yet to sag or warp in any way. While they are a stiff chair to sit in for a bit until you wear it in a bit, it's VERY good for posture/back support.

Hope that helps somewhat and apologies for the long-winded reply xD

Ohh on the topic of chairs my partner has a SL but I opted for Techni Sport because it came in white hardware and a color shade I desired for the actual seat. I think the leather of the SLs is nice and luxurious but personally I'm very happy with my TS, as the fabric is soft and velvety. As a girl I wear short shorts in the summer and I hate sticking to/sweating on leather it's so painful and gross lol. My only gripe about these gaming chairs in general though is that the seat part is quite... hard xD not very cushiony and I love a cushiony seat but that can easily be fixed with a seat cushion haha. I waited a very long time to get my chair because I wanted to buy it on black friday for the biggest price reduction since they're so pricey, and I even used some random content creator's discount code on top for an extra discount! Would recommend if the top of the line SLs price you out, I think TS runs slightly cheaper? Especially with big sales like BF.

Yeah as I said above, the SL chairs aren't going to be for everyone in terms of comfort levels/costs, but for support and longevity, I found that they are very good in that regard. I used to have a cheaper Thunder X3 gaming chair back in the day. It was quite soft to sit in and whilst it was comfortable, I found my lower back started to hurt after long sessions sitting in it. Also after about two years it flaked really badly and I ended up chucking it out sadly.

The SL chairs do eventually 'wear in' in terms of the stiffness of the seat base, but yeah, it does take quite a while to get used to it.

Just took a look at the TS chairs and they have some nice designs for more of an entry/mid level seat

I ended up getting myself an ASUS ROG Ally for handheld/portable PC gaming. I have a problem LOL. I’m excited though, it feels nice and light in my hands and it’s way better looking than the Steam Deck (at least to me)





The worst part is waiting for all the updates to finish
