Finding the perfect computer desk for your glorious PC gaming set up is an important, and oft-overlooked, part of PC gaming ascension. If you spend your gaming time enjoying the smooth frame rates and high-resolution textures only a PC can provide, why nestle it in anything less than the best desk for gaming? We've scoured the internet to find some great choices to fit both your living space and your full-sized tower. These are 6 of the best computer desks for gaming - at any budget range.
TL;DR: These are the best desks for PC gaming:
- ApexDesk Elite Series Adjustable Standing Desk
- Soges 55" Computer Desk
- OSP Designs Prado Complete L-Workstation
- Atlantic Gaming Desk
- Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk
Sometimes you just need to stretch your legs, and studies show sitting down for long periods is not good for your health. With the Apex Elite, that problem is solved since it can be converted to a standing platform just by reaching down and pressing a button. It's 71" across so you can even fit your battlestation on top, and/or a massive widescreen display. It holds up to 235lbs. too so it can handle all your gear and your figurine collection. Just make sure your cords are all long enough to not become unplugged when it's in standing mode.
Sometimes you just want something basic for your monitor, keyboard, a pair of speakers, and some knick knacks. Soges 55" desk fits the bill, and at 55" long and 23.6" deep it can hold a big monitor and a full-size keyboard too. It's available in four different particle board finishes, at just $89 it's a smokin' deal. It's also available in a 47" size too if you're looking for something a bit more compact.
Best L-Shaped Desk - Office Star Prado Complete
Not all gaming desks have to be flashy or extravagant, and the Prado Complete L workstation has that in mind with its elegant and simple L-shaped design. This lets you install the extension on either side so you can reach whatever is there easily if you're right-or-left handed, and you can even buy an extra cabinet to throw under the main desk area too. It's perfect for a setup with a desktop as the main and a laptop on the side, or your printer and figurine collection.
Forget everything you think you know about desks, because the Atlantic Gaming Desk is here to disrupt the desk landscape with its wireframe design and efficient use of space. Here's a hypothetical situation: you're playing a PC game with your very expensive RGB mouse and keyboard, but you're also extremely thirsty. Sound familiar? You don't want to risk ruining everything you own by accidentally spilling a drink, so rather than place a cold beverage on your desktop, you suffer low-grade dehydration. Your K/D ratio? Kiss it goodbye. With the Atlantic Gaming Desk you'll never have to suffer since it has a place to store a drink, away from the sensitive and expensive electronics you know and love. After you've quenched your thirst you can also store your headset on the side of it as well.
The Arozzi Arena is designed for folks who are rocking multiple monitors, giving you plenty of space to run two or three panels. It's also 31" deep, so you'll have room to bring the keyboard to where your fingers are while leaving some room for the monitors too. The Arena even includes a mouse pad surface, so you'll never run out of space for your mouse either, and it's waterproof. This sucker is expensive at $450, but it's the type of desk you can buy and never have to upgrade ever again. It's even available with different color legs including lime green, blue, white (shown) and of course, all-black.
