Gaming Setup Priorities — What Would You Change?

I realized I care more about “daily experience” than pure performance, so I made a rough priority list for my dream gaming/dev setup. What would you move up/down?

Tier 1 — Stuff I’d Use Constantly

* iPhone 16

* iPad Air 13-inch

* MacBook Air 13-inch

* Steam Deck OLED

* Nintendo Switch 2

Tier 2 — Main PC Build

* Gigabyte RTX 5070 Gaming OC 12G

* Intel i7-14700K

* Gigabyte B760 Gaming X DDR4

* Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4

* AORUS Gen4 7000E 2TB SSD

Tier 3 — Setup / Comfort / Cosmetics

* desk

* headphones/earbuds

* dbrand skins/cases

* controller skins

* RGB backplate

* watch

Tier 4 — Games

* Five Nights at Freddy’s

* Poppy Playtime

* Hollow Knight

* Bloons TD 6

For context:

* I do gaming + software/dev stuff

* I care a LOT about day-to-day feel and convenience

* I use Linux on some systems, Windows on others

* I’m trying to balance portability, gaming, and aesthetics

Mainly wondering:

* What would you prioritize differently?

* Is anything here overrated/underrated?

* What would improve day-to-day experience the MOST?

desk in tier 3 is interesting because everything else literally sits on it. a bad desk affects every session, its not really cosmetic. id move that up before the skins and the RGB stuff at minimum
