Samsung makes a great monitor, and for this price, you really can’t go wrong. This makes a great second monitor to have, without breaking the bank.

One of the greatest sports video games around, this is a great one to load up with the crew and vibe out. The NFL season couldn’t get any more interesting than it is right now either, which makes stepping up to the line of skrimmage yourself all the more fun.

If you’re a non-controller player, you are doing yourself a disservice if you are rocking with a regular old mouse. I also don’t want one of those crazy gaming mouses that is shooting out every color of the rainbow, because I’m not a five-year-old child.

This piece by Logitech has a lot of great functions, for gaming and work, making it a great all-around addition. This is also the mouse that you’ll find on the desk of Crimsix.

There’s something great about logging into your game and putting on your gaming headphones versus your everyday earbuds. Not only does it sound better, and allow you to chat with your friends or teammates with ease, but it helps you get into the zone.

Razer is the brand trusted by Optic Gaming, and former Call of Duty pro Anthony “Methodz” Zinni says that these pump out great sounds while staying comfortable for the long sessions.

For controller players, that piece of gear might be the single most important for better performance in the game. SCUF Gaming has become the most trusted brand in pro controllers, being used by most of the professional Call of Duty players.

This includes Call of Duty League champion Dillon “Attach” Price, currently playing for Cloud9, who has his own special edition on sale now for anyone familiar with the PS4 controller. “The special design of their button layout cuts seconds off of your response time, which is huge in a game like Call of Duty,” says Price.

No matter how much I try to avoid it, I spend a lot of my day looking at a screen for work, and sometimes during my chill time. These classic looking glasses block blue light, which helps fight eyestrain.

I use these throughout the day, especially at night when I’m trying to wind down, to help protect my vision and from disrupting my sleep if I’m looking at screens closer to bedtime than I would like.

If you’ve ever put together a workstation or gaming system at your home, you know how quickly it can get unorganized.

That’s why I like this easy organizational tool, which helps you keep your controllers, headphones, and cables in line.

Even though this might not be “gaming gear” per say, if you are looking to have a great session it’s important that you stay hydrated, as much as any other physical or mental activity.

So having something nearby that allows you to drink water, without risking spilling all over your expensive gear is huge. Former pro gamer and Twitch streamer Apathy rocks this one at his desk.

For gaming and work, I like to keep my set up looking sleek. This keyboard from Razer fits into any office environment you have.

I also like how low profile the keyboard is, meaning you aren’t making a bunch of noise when typing away for work or play.

For those who are building the ultimate man cave, for both gaming and watching sports, you need a serious television. I have used this screen since the beginning of the year, and it’s great for watching the Sunday Night game as well as running some Madden with the boys.

TCL is the official partner of Call of Duty and the NFL, so they are looking to make the best television for both. Justin Herbert is just one of the NFL players who also likes to grind the popular FPS shooter is just one of the guys who rocks these in his home.

If you are looking to get a serious gaming monitor for FPS games, this is the way to go. There’s a reason these monitors are used by professional gaming teams like Cloud9.

Sony made a real entrance into the world of gaming monitors a few years ago with their INZONE brand and have continued to push the boundaries with new updates.

There are a lot of gaming chair out there that just have too much going on. This piece from Respawn is classic looking, ergonomic, and gives great support for your spine throughout the day.

The fabric also allows your back to breathe, keeping you cool in comparison to some of those faux-leather options. If you spend anymore than an hour on your desk or gaming set up, you need to upgrade your chair.
