Peripherals
Let's start with the essentials: gaming peripherals. A keyboard, mouse, monitor, and good headphones are must-haves. While personal preference plays a role, certain features make all the difference.
Gaming Mice

Choosing a gaming mouse is easier than you think! Key factors are DPI sensitivity and programmable buttons. For FPS enthusiasts, lighter, high-speed mice are ideal. MMORPG players will appreciate mice with extra buttons—consider the Razer Naga Pro Wireless with its 20 buttons!
Keyboards

Similar to mice, comfort and responsiveness are key. Mechanical keyboards are superior to membrane keyboards, offering superior responsiveness. Some even allow adjustable keypress force—a gamer's dream! Another plus: easily replaceable keys for custom looks.
Headphones

Sound quality is paramount, especially for competitive shooters where audio cues are critical for success. Games like Escape from Tarkov rely heavily on sound. Microphone quality is also important if a separate mic isn't used.
Monitors

Full HD is still common, but upgrading to 2K or 4K dramatically enhances the gaming experience. Consider refresh rate (higher is better, but check your PC's capabilities), color depth, and screen size.
Stylish Case

A PC is a statement piece! Gone are the days of dull gray cases. A stylish case is a fantastic gift. Consider size (to accommodate cooling systems) and features like glass panels or built-in lighting.
Lights

Gamepad

Even without a console, a gamepad enhances PC gaming. Xbox and Sony controllers are popular choices, with many custom options available.
Consoles

The PS5 and Xbox Series X are leading contenders. Xbox's Game Pass offers a large library of games. Portable consoles like the Steam Deck (for Steam games) and Nintendo Switch (Nintendo-exclusive titles) are also excellent choices.
Collectible Figurines and Merchandise
