We aren’t going to mess around with PC specs in this article, you all know more than enough about them already so we are looking at peripherals and other items that make that setup so much better – even if they only cost $5!
If you’re looking for a more streaming dedicated set up then click here.
A controller
Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, (GameByte Shop)
This is for all those games that work much better on controller rather than mouse and keyboard. Have you ever tried to use Mouse and Keyboard to play Rocket League? Literally impossible. Lots of people play games on console too. Did you know though that your console controller could work on your PC? It’s always worth looking into!
Microphone
(GameByte Shop)
If you’re considering your first steps into streaming and content creation then you’ll want to get your hands on a good microphone. The EPOS B20 Microphone is top quality and worth checking out. We also recommend looking at the Blue microphone range.
Controller and phone holder
Cable Guys (GameByte Shop)
These are a fun way to decorate your gaming set up whilst having something practical to use. They can hold most phones and controllers as well as other things.
Headset
Headsets (GameByte Shop)
If you want to hear and talk to your friends and teammates with ease then you’ll need a headset. Luckily on the GameByte Shop we have a great range of them for a variety of budgets. Prices start from under £20!
Thumb Grips
If you don’t quite have the funds for a brand new controller then why not look to refresh your current controller with thumb grips? They’re ideal even if you don’t need a new controller and can help make your gaming sessions more comfortable.
Headset Holder

Now that you’ve got your headset this can be the key to keeping your desk tidy and also making sure your headset doesn’t get damaged. You can also fit more than one on here so if you have a set of headphones or have his and her setups next to each other then you can easily find both of your headsets at any point.
Air Canister

This is for cleaning your keyboard out of all of those crumbs and also to safely clean out any dust from inside your PC case. A must for and PC gamer out there.
USB Desk fan (Amazon)
For those long gaming sessions that you have during the warm summer nights this will keep you and your room nice and cool. Especially with you PC chucking out loads of warm air right at your feet!

Webcam and Mic Stand

For all you streamers who are just starting out, these two things (along with a mic) are key to your success on Twitch/YouTube.

Bad cable management is enough to set anyones teeth on edge. These are to make sure that your cables are all in order and won’t cause any problems with getting knotted into each other. These are also great if you have pets who like to get themselves caught in wires or like to play/chew on them. Keep your pets safe and your computer safe.
