This year, I bought a new PC, specifically for gaming. A huge investment and one that took a lot of extensive research because, quite honestly, I didn't know what I needed. I didn't want to build it myself, but I also wanted to make sure it had the power behind it to run triple-A titles, like Crimson Desert and, eventually, GTA 6.

But, while choosing my PC was one critical part of the process, choosing the must-have accessories is a totally different quest. Fortunately, it's also one that I reckon I can help you with. While the PC itself is personal to you, depending on what you're after, PC gaming extras are a little more fluid. Here's the 12 PC gaming accessories I consider to be top picks for an epic at-home setup.
