Search 'gaming setup' and you'll drown in RGB and four-monitor towers. Most of it is theatre. The setup that helps you actually play better is quieter, cheaper, and built around two things: comfort and consistency.

- ✓A wired connection beats a flashy router for competitive play.
- ✓A 120Hz+ panel is the single most-felt upgrade once you've tried it.
- ✓Low-latency peripherals matter more than expensive ones.
