Hi all,
A bit of a general overall question.. Christmas 2019 I came on here and got amazing advice on a first gaming PC build for my 9 year (at the time) son.
I was overjoyed with it, building it was an amazing experience and it was a Christmas that I’ll never forget.
Fast forward until now, split with my ex who took everything I owned bar anything of no value to her. Luckily I still get to see my son and he’s still gaming mad.
This year he got a PS5 and we currently game on an LG OLED 55” TV (B something or other 9 I believe is the model) PS5 looks amazing on it!
I started thinking maybe some bean bags to sit on then it spiralled from there and my head is all over the place now.
I’m happy gaming on the TV together, he’s happy enough but he prefers playing on a desk and monitor.
Buying a whole new PC, desk, chairs etc would sting quite badly as it from memory, I spent over 2K on his last set up. He may be coming to live with me and seeing his mum here and there as opposed to the other way around as it is currently so there’s a chance that his PC could find its way back here, slim but a possibility.
So long story short, I’m looking for peoples opinions on the best way forward.
Here’s what I’m thinking.. large IKEA desk and 2 chairs with 2 monitors, maybe PS5 on one and PS4 Pro on the other.
Super Widescreen like a Samsung Odyssey G9 which would be good for his Fortnite and for split screen gaming. It also has a WOW factory look which I like.
Or continue to play on PS5 and TV, I like the idea of 1 ms input lag on monitors though but I like the comfort of lounging out as opposed to sitting on a chair really.
I guess the other option would be to have a PS5 for both TV and 1 monitor so we could game at the desk or TV.
Any input would be amazing.
Here’s the PC I built for him Christmas 2019
Razen 5 3600
MSi B450 Carbon
Corsair Vengence RGB 16GB 3600
Corsair MP 510 960 GB
Palet GeForce 1660 Super
Corsair RX750x
NZXT H510 Elite Case
AOC 27G2U Monitor
Hyper X Alloy Elite Keyboard
Roccat Kain 122 Mouse
Thanks
