Ultimate Gaming Setup for Pro-GAMERS

Hi, HeyDerp here to enlighten you on what an actual Pro – as in professional, PRO-GAMER might be using right now at their computer gaming station to read this very blog post.

Just so you can understand the level of “pro”-ness in this set up, I offer you my amateur gaming set up for a comparison.

First things first, start with a desk to put all of the gorgeous gaming equipment on.

R2-BY gaming desk without lift/hide monitor shelf.

R2-BB gaming desk with lift/hide monitor shelf.

This ultra cool desk from Prospec Designs can be yours for 599€ without the fancy remote lift/hide electronic mechanism for your monitor, or 799€ with the lift kit.  This desk has a full tall tower PC storage compartment on the left side and 2 gaming console shelves on the right.

Second thing second 🙂  the awesomest gaming PC!  We’re going with the NEW ALIENWARE AURORA.    This PC is fully loaded with top notch gaming hardware like:

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 7700k (6-Core, 12MB Cache, up to 4.6GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Liquid Cooling: Alienware™ 460 Watt Multi-GPU Approved Power Supply with High Performance Liquid Cooling

Video Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti with 11GB GDDR5X

See what’s going on with these (yeah, I recommend getting two)  24 inch curved gaming monitors from Pixio.

Next we need a form of input, I’m recommending the Razer Blackwidow X Ultimate keyboard for exactly that.

In staying with the green theme, check the awesome green glow from the individually back lit keys.

Reason 1: It is a mechanical gaming keyboard so it has very little input lag or delay.

Reason 2: Because the keyboard is mechanical, when typing, it sounds “clicky” – which punctuates your keystrokes.

Reason 3: 80 million keystrokes.  Engineered for durability, Razer’s mechanical switches are designed to delivering both top-notch performance and reliable durability time, time, and time again.  According to my calculations, this will give you at least 3 years of non-stop Minecraft action.

Now lets wrap your hand around a high end gaming mouse.  Check this one . . .

As you see, I’ve chosen the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum Gaming Mouse and here’s why.

Reason 1: This is an ambidextrous mouse (hold it in your left or right hand)

Reason 2:  Trusted by top eSports professionals, G900 Chaos Spectrum delivers ultra-quick responsiveness that’s virtually lag-free

Reason 3: It is a very “light touch” click mouse, consistently delivering fast, accurate and reliable click performance and a clean, crisp click feel for rapid-fire gaming.

Give your mouse a home, or a pad to roam.

This is ultra cool because it has customizable RGB lighting on the sides.

Razer Firefly Chroma Custom Lighting Hard Gaming Mouse Pad

In order to achieve the perfect balance between control and speed, the Razer Firefly features a hard, micro-textured finish that gives you pinpoint accuracy and effortless speed.

Get your ears in the game with the ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Dolby Gaming Headset – Black/Green – Xbox One + PC from AMAZON!

No strings attached – or wires rather.  This wireless headset for Xbox One, PC, and Mac delivers top-of-the-line acoustics, ergonomics, and durability that professional gamers demand.

Reason 1: Many reviews I’ve read say these are the best sounding things on the market.

Reason 2: This headset has Dolby 7.1 surround sound  so you can hear enemies and objects from all angles.  Included software allows you to optimize chat levels and game sounds with the built-in MixAmp™ technology.

Reason 3: Discord certified.  Since Discord is all about talking with your friends, they wanted to help you guys out and slap a “good to go” Discord approval on headsets that they love.  The Astro A50 headset is also compatible with  PC, Mac and Xbox One.

Be heard loud and clear with Razer Seiren Pro Elite XLR and USB Digital Microphone – Record with Professional-Grade Studio Sound from AMAZON!
