The Loadout
The exact kit behind the channel. Tried, tested, and occasionally yelled at.
Heads up: these are affiliate links, if you buy through them I may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Only stuff I actually use is on here.
After the games rather than the gear? I keep the honest buy-or-wait calls on the Deal Radar, cheap game codes and gift cards live on Loaded ↗ (also affiliate).
The Rig
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
The chip doing all the thinking so I don't have to. Stupidly fast for gaming.
Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX LCD Cooler
Keeps the CPU cool and has a little screen on it, because why not.
Asus TUF Gaming B650E-E WIFI Motherboard
The board everything else plugs into. Does its job, never complains.
Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5
Enough memory to have forty tabs open while I pretend to concentrate on the game.
Corsair MP600 CORE XT 2TB SSD
Where the games live. Loads fast enough that I can't blame load times for the deaths.
Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5080 OC
The expensive one. Does the heavy lifting and occasionally sounds like it's about to take off.
Corsair AIR 5400 Case
Holds it all together and lets it breathe. Looks tidy, which is a lie about the rest of my desk.
Corsair RM850e PSU
Powers the whole thing. Unglamorous, but this is the last place you want to cheap out.
Corsair RS120 ARGB Fans (3-pack)
Airflow with RGB, because everything runs better when it glows. That's science.
Battlestation
Corsair XENEON 27QHD240 Monitor
1440p at 240Hz. Smooth enough that every miss is now officially my fault.
Corsair K100 RGB Keyboard
The full battlestation board. All the keys, all the RGB, all the regret when I rage.
Razer Huntsman Mini
The compact one for when desk space matters more than having a numpad I never use.
Razer Viper V4 Pro
Light, fast, wireless. The aim is still my problem, not the mouse's.
Razer Firefly V2 Pro Mousepad
A glowing mat for the mouse to live on. Yes it lights up. Yes it matters.
Capture & Sound
Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra Webcam
The facecam that catches every bad decision in real time. Sorry about that.
Elgato Wave XLR
Turns the big mic into something the PC understands. Clean, simple, one knob.
Shure SM7B
The broadcast mic. Makes me sound far more put-together than I actually am.
Electro-Voice RE20
The other broadcast mic. Proper radio-grade, for when the SM7B needs a day off.
