We just moved into our new apartment and a lot of my older equipment will be going to my wife. She will be receiving the two Asus monitors and my older tower PC for now until I can afford to upgrade her setup as well. She will also be taking the keyboard and mouse as well.

Her desk is 60x30 on the right side and my desk is 70x30 on the left side. They are both Uplift standing desks.

I’ll be honest, I play video games but I am by no means a competitive gamer. I mainly only play Old School RuneScape and sometimes I may play some other games on steam but I don’t play really competitive games. I usually use my desk for productivity like the stock market, Discord, watching sports games, studying and playing games like WOW and OSRS.

The reason I bring this up is that I realistically don’t know how much I should spend on my PC without overpaying and going crazy.

My last PC build was 1k and it honestly worked out great and ran almost everything with no issues. For this build I don’t know how much I should spend on my PC and how I want to set up my monitors and how many. I figured I would do a three-monitor setup with one 31-37 inch monitor centered with a 24-27 inch one above that one and then a 24 inch monitor to the right or left vertically placed. My only concerns are putting that one monitor above the other. It looks pathetically pleasing but I’m not sure how that would work for my neck constantly looking up. I mainly want to use it for watching sports and videos honestly.

I know Asus is a great brand and I’ve been looking at MSI but I really don’t know what to buy and what to go with. I know GPU matters. I also need to get a new mouse and keyboard but I can’t choose between a wired or wireless one. I’m concerned about connectivity issues for wireless but at the same time I love how it looks aesthetically.

Any advice would be great.

the back of the desk is too short to support the clip on type mounts i checked. would i be able to use a mic arm with this type of desk or do i have to explore alternatives? and are there good alternatives if so.
