The Starfield Gaming Set-Up
We have scoured the Overclockers UK website high and low, to find the Ultimate Starfield Gaming Set-up. It includes everything from gaming PC, to furniture, and even peripherals. If you’re in the market for a few Starfield-themed upgrades, get ready to bookmark a webpage or two!
Refract Gaming Ultraviolet
With the Refract refresh came a whole new gaming PC, the Refract Gaming Ultraviolet. It is an absolute beast, packing an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU with 3D V-Cache and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. This gaming PC can effortlessly handle 4K gaming, streaming, content creation, and more, all with whisper-quiet performance thanks to the efficient cooling system. Better yet, this is a pre-built PC, meaning it has been carefully engineered, assembled, and tested so it’s ready to ship with next day delivery (stock allowing). Take off on your Starfield adventure sooner than expected!
noblechairs LEGEND Gaming Chair Starfield Edition
What better way to enjoy the stars than from the comfort of your very own noblechairs LEGEND Gaming Chair Starfield Edition? Boasting all the innovative comfort features of the noblechairs LEGEND, this gaming chair has a simple, yet beautiful design that was officially licenced by Bethesda. Both the front and back emulate star maps, just hinting at the expanse to discover, with the colourful logo and wording “For all, into the Starfield,” prominently on the back. Plus, with integrated and adjustable lumbar support, premium build materials, and more configurable ergonomics, you can stay well supported as you play.
Samsung Odyssey G7 4K Gaming Monitor
If you have a 4K gaming PC, why not get a 4K gaming monitor? Immerse yourself into the thrilling space combat and stunning landscapes. The Samsung Odyssey G7 Gaming Monitor is equipped with everything you need to enjoy Starfield at its peak. Phenomenal resolution? Check. Smooth gaming? 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. FreeSync support and other gaming-tuned features? Absolutely! (Don’t worry, NVIDIA cards support FreeSync, too.)
Ducky One 3 Cosmic TKL Gaming Mechanical Keyboard
Moving onto peripherals, we have the suitably space-themed Ducky One 3 Cosmic. We’ve picked the TKL (80%) gaming keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches, but you can customise those options right on the product page. Can even change the colour scheme, but that would make it distinctly less space-y. More than just its galactic good looks, the Ducky One 3 Cosmic gaming keyboard is equipped with innovative Quack Mechanics. Take advantage of hot swapping technology, a redefined weight distribution, and premium build quality, all aiming to provide the best typing experience possible.
SteelSeries Aerox 3 RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse
Every great gamer needs a pixel-precise gaming mouse in their arsenal, why not pick one on brand with the Starfield colouring? The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Mouse has a crisp, white shell with diamond cutouts to let the RGB lighting shine through. All you need to do is set the lighting to the iconic Starfield red and blue. With a TrueMove optical sensor and ultralightweight 68g, this gaming mouse has been optimised for quick movements, perfect for intergalactic combat. Plus, the 200 hour battery life means you can get more gaming in between charges!
Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless Gaming Headset
We love an immersive soundscape, especially in 7.1 surround sound. With the Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless Gaming Headset, you can enjoy crystal clear high and round bass notes thanks to the custom-tuned 50mm neodymium drivers. The futuristic aesthetic will be right at home with the rest of our Starfield set-up picks, but it’s the gaming-focused features that we really love. From the plush earcups to wireless connectivity, this headset is a must for any gamer.
ThunderX3 ED7 Gaming Desk
Of course, you have to keep all this premium hardware somewhere. The ThunderX3 ED7 Adjustable Gaming Desk has a spacious surface and can be adjusted in height to maximise your ergonomics. Theoretically, we should change our position regularly, especially when seated for long periods of time. But who wants to interrupt their gaming session?! Certainly not us. With an electronic adjustable gaming desk like the ED7, you can seamlessly transition from seated to standing at the press of a button. Plus, just imagine how nice it’ll be to sit back down in your LEGEND Starfield Edition after a spell of standing.
