Gaming Essentials Every PC Gamer Needs

Gamers are used to sitting in front of their PCs for hours. It makes us uncomfortable if you're not using a relaxing gaming chair that gives you an excellent seating experience while playing your favorite games or online games. A gaming chair is essential for every PC gamer, especially those designed to help support our spine and neck and encourage good posture.

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned veteran, having the right setup can significantly enhance your gaming sessions. Here’s a list of essentials every PC Gamer needs to take their gaming to the next level.

1. Powerful Gaming PC

At the heart of every great gaming setup is a powerful gaming PC. This doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive one on the market, but it should have a good balance of a strong CPU, ample RAM (16GB is a good standard), and a capable GPU. Key components to consider include:

• Processor (CPU): Look for at least an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 for mid-range gaming.
• Graphics Card (GPU): A GTX 1660 Super or RTX 3060 for solid 1080p gaming.
• Memory (RAM): 16GB is the sweet spot for most modern games.
• Storage: An SSD for your operating system and games to ensure fast load times.

2. High-Resolution Monitor

A high-quality monitor is crucial for an immersive gaming experience. Key features to look for include:

• Resolution: At least 1080p, but 1440p or 4K for higher-end setups.
• Refresh Rate: 144Hz is ideal for smoother gameplay, especially in fast-paced games.
• Response Time: 1ms to 5ms to reduce input lag.

3. Mechanical Keyboard

A mechanical keyboard offers tactile feedback and durability that membrane keyboards can’t match. Look for features such as:

• Switch Type: Cherry MX, Razer, or Romer-G switches, each offering a different feel.
• Customization: Programmable keys and RGB lighting for a personalized touch.
• Build Quality: A sturdy build with an ergonomic design.

4. Precise Gaming Mouse

A gaming mouse with adjustable DPI settings and ergonomic design can drastically improve your precision and comfort. Key considerations include:

• Sensor: Optical sensors generally offer better accuracy.
• DPI Range: A high DPI range (up to 16,000 DPI) for customizable sensitivity.
• Buttons: Additional programmable buttons for in-game actions.
• Ergonomics: A comfortable fit for long gaming sessions.

Long gaming sessions require a chair that offers both comfort and support. Look for:

• Material: Breathable fabric or high-quality leather for durability and comfort.
• Build Quality: A sturdy frame to withstand hours of use.

6. High-Quality Headset

Immersive sound is essential for both competitive and casual gaming. A good headset should have:

• Sound Quality: Surround sound or virtual 7.1 for immersive audio.
• Microphone: A clear, noise-canceling mic for in-game communication.
• Comfort: Lightweight and comfortable for extended use.
• Wireless Option: For added convenience and mobility.

7. Reliable Internet Connection

A stable and fast internet connection is crucial for online gaming. Consider:

• Speed: At least 25 Mbps for download and 5 Mbps for upload.
• Latency: Low ping (below 50ms) for minimal lag.
• Wired Connection: Ethernet cables offer more stability compared to Wi-Fi.

8. Effective Cooling System

Keeping your PC cool ensures optimal performance and longevity. Options include:

• Air Cooling: High-quality fans to dissipate heat.
• Liquid Cooling: More effective but also more expensive and requires maintenance.
• Case Ventilation: Ensure your case has good airflow.

9. Gaming Desk

A sturdy and spacious desk designed for gaming can help organize your setup and improve comfort. Look for:

• Space: Enough room for your monitor(s), keyboard, mouse, and other accessories.
• Cable Management: Features to keep your cables tidy.
• Durability: Strong materials that can support the weight of your equipment.

10. RGB Lighting

While not essential for performance, RGB lighting can add a visually appealing element to your gaming setup. Consider:

• Customizability: Sync lights with your gameplay or create personalized patterns.
• Placement: Strip lights, desk lights, or case lighting to enhance the ambiance.

Having the right gaming essentials can transform your PC gaming experience from good to extraordinary. Investing in quality components and accessories enhances gameplay and ensures comfort and efficiency during those marathon sessions. Tailor your setup to your preferences and game on!

Embrace the world of PC gaming with these essentials, and you'll be ready to tackle any virtual challenge that comes your way. Happy gaming!

Problem Solved

A while ago, my cutie li'l niece suddenly pressed some buttons on the keyboard of her dad's MacBook... We don't know how did she do it that the display on the screen is on Vertical position already... Kept on pressing different buttons but still can't fix it... Her dad left it on his flat and let me use it coz they were about to go. And so I tried to restart but to no avail it didn't work... I've tried searching on the control pannel but couldn't find the right solution.

I think you'd suffer from a stiff neck if you keep on reading and using the book and the screen's on vertical position, lol. So, I've asked some of my friends if they have any idea on how to fix it... A good friend of mine, Ghenessa, suggested something but still it didn't work out... I've tried searching on the internet but can't stay long reading it with my neck on the right side always...

This is how it looked like...

It was a good thing that one of my best friend Jane, was online and she did helped me out on my problem... and we did finally fix it (Actually siya ang naka-discover hehehe).

So, What did we do???

Press CTRL + ALT + UP ARROW... As simple as that... My niece is really makulit kasi, well atleast We've learned something from what happened and now I can see my monitor displays normally... =)
