Then vs. Now setup (did i do good)

Been into setups for a few years now, so I decided to get to work on a room that no one was using and personalize it to my standards, with some reference, of course.

Let me know if i should add or remove anything

Good semi budget GPU options ATM ?

I have a SkyTech King 95 Pro prebuilt that I've kinda upgraded and messed with in the last year , well I had a 5070Ti that I had to sell recently due to needing the money from moving plus it was a bit to much anyways . Don't really game A LOT but I have been playing Crimson Desert quite a bit lately . Unfortunately I chose a bad time cause right after selling GPU prices skyrocketed :( , I'm looking to spend roughly $400-500 don't matter used or new . Any recommendations? I game at 1440p and want either 12 or 16Gb GPU . I was thinking MAYBE the 9060Xt ? Or possibly a older higher tiered used card ? Ryzen 9700x , 32Gb DDR5 @ 6000mts , 2Tb Gen 4 NVMe , 850w Corsair RM850e PSU for context . Any info would be appreciated !

Then vs now

This was after a medication switch for anxiety meds. But yea need a real desk but i love this plastic material so much tbh

Gaming pc on windowsill, good or bad idea?

I am trying this out temporarily but i am not sure if this could be a bad idea because it is right next to the window. Whats the longest i can keep it here for before i start getting issues with stuff like condensation etc??

Need ideas on how to set up gaming room

Trying to figure out the best set out for this weirdly shaped room. My partner and I like to play Xbox so we have a tv and console each that we would like to have mounted to the wall. Ideally we would also have some sort of desk setup for working from home in this space also. Thinking about using some ikea cupboards to help the space feel a bit more built in but looking for suggestions on layout. How would you set up this room?

Want to purchase a setup by my bf

Hi! I want to buy my boyfriend a pc setup for his birthday but I am very overwhelmed lol.

He has wanted one for over 5 years and I finally have some wiggle room in my budget to look at refurbished setups for him. I saw Walmart has quite a few options available however, I do not game and do not have any pc knowledge so looking at the options that are available is a bit much. Can I please get some recommendations for a beginner setup that can be modified by him in the future?

If it helps- he plays a lot of Fortnite and shooting games in addition to storytelling games like digimon. Thank you so much for the help!!

Finally got myself a nice setup!

Lots i still need to complete with the room (lighting/gaming chair) but very proud of myself. I had a not so stable life a few years ago so the fact I can call all of of this mine is a massive blessing.
