A high-end gaming PC is what many of us PC gamers aspire to have. You’ve maybe had the horrible experience of trying to load up a new triple-A game that you played $70 for only to have it crash, assuming you’re able to even get it to start at all. Most of the time, this is because your PC’s hardware isn’t able to handle whatever you’re trying to run.
If you’re buying a new high-end gaming PC, what do you need to buy for your setup? There’s more at play than some components. We’ve put together a quick list of the best items to have in your shopping cart for setting up your PC, from peripherals and furniture to a few components in the PC itself.
AOC 27B2H2 27" Frameless Monitor
Why Pay Top Price?
Spend too much of your budget on your PC build and need to shave a few bucks? The AOC 27B2H2 27" Frameless IPS Monitor is a great choice to get an excellent monitor without breaking the rest of your wallet.
Did you find yourself using up most of your budget on your PC’s components and still have a few necessities to buy? If you’re still lacking a monitor, we strongly recommend the AOC 27B2H2 27" Frameless IPS Monitor. This monitor comes at a relatively affordable price, especially compared to some of the more intense, higher-end monitors - curved monitors, 4k displays, those sorts of things.
This monitor comes with a 1920x1080p resolution and an excellent refresh rate, making it perfect for gaming. That said, if you’ve invested hundreds in a PC that can runanything, you may choose to go for a more expensive monitor that can make the most of that equipment.
ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12GB OC Edition
Better than most
A high-end PC almost always includes a high-end GPU. While this GPU isn’t the absolute top-of-the-line, it’s a high-end GPU that can handle any game you throw at it without problems.
If you’re building your PC yourself, one of the most important components for any high-end gaming PC is a good graphics card, or GPU. We recommend the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 for that purpose, as it’s powerful enough to play virtually any modern triple-A game. In fact, a 4070 is still seen by most to be future-proofing your PC.
There are other GPUs that are stronger, but for the average gamer, you shouldn’t need anything stronger than this in your PC. We’ve chosen the Asus TUF version for its excellent cooling, low-volume operation, and minimalist aesthetic.
Sedeta L Shaped Reversible Computer Desk
Perfect for large setups
The Sedeta L Shaped Reversible Computer Desk is highly customizable, giving you the ability to shift the desk to your liking. It’s an excellent choice if you’re using multiple displays.
You’ve got your high-end PC, but where are you going to put it? PCs aren’t like laptops - you’ll want a dedicated space to keep your computer so that you can fine-tune the space and keep it all safe. We love this Sedeta L-Shaped Reversible Computer Desk for its incredible customization. You can make it straight to give you the wingspace you need or construct it as an L-Shaped corner desk to help you make the most out of your room’s layout.
There’s plenty of storage space and the large surface area gives you a spacious gaming area. We recommend this PC for anyone using more than one monitor so that you’re able to make the most of the surface area.
Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless
Great for hotkey-heavy games
Corsair’s peripherals are exceptional, and the Scimitar Elite Wireless is a great example of this. This gaming mouse is ideal for anything hotkey-heavy, from MMOs to MOBAs.
You’ve made a beautiful, state-of-the-art PC, but what are you going to control it with? If you’re looking for a universal gaming mouse, we love the Corsair Scimita Elite Wireless for its exceptional build quality and versatility. As anMMO accessory, this mouse comes with 12 buttons on the side that you can use for hotkeys in any game where you’d need your number row. These buttons curve inward for ergonomic support, helping you prevent issues like cramps and carpal tunnel.
As a note, this is the mouse I use! It’s phenomenal for any game I bring it into, but it shines the most in World of Warcraft and Diablo 4. It’s also served me well in MOBAs, and virtually anything else with hotkeys that I can bind to my number row. The battery also lasts a long time, though I admittedly swapped to the wired version recently out of personal preference for wired peripherals. I can’t recommend this mouse enough for any purpose.
Corsair Void Elite RGB Wireless Gaming Headset
Roomy, comfortable, and long-range
No gaming PC is complete without the right headset. We love the Corsair Void RGB Elite for its roomy interior, great padding, long range, and iCUE software compatibility.
Headsets are crucial no matter what games you intend to play if you want to talk to your friends and teammates - or have some choice words on an open-mic game with the camper on the other team. Corsair’s peripherals can’t be overlooked in any category, and their VOID headset is another great choice.
The VOID RGB Elite has a spacious interior to ensure your ears aren’t cramped. The cushioning around the ears, as well as the headband, makes this acomfortable headsetfor short-term use. During my time using this headset, I’ll admit that the bulkier body made it uncomfortable on raid nights where I had it on for hours at a time. But overall, this is a stellar headset that’ll serve you well.

That’s good, because this chair is exceptionally pricy, as is almost everything Secretlab puts out. You’re paying for quality, and we don’t think you’ll be disappointed. But if this isn’t in your budget, make sure you’re buying a chair that’s still ergonomic.
