Welcome to my gaming and content creation studio!
My desk is made out of 2 ikea alex drawers, 2 lagkapten tabletops, and a few olov legs for extra support.

On top of this right alex drawer is my Bambu Lab A1 3D printer, and in the drawers under the printer, I have completely revamped everything with the gridfinity system. I also used a nelko label maker to put these nice hidden labels to categorize everything I have!

To the left of my 3D printer, I have 2 ikea plants on either side of my M2 macbook air in the midnight color!

To the left of my laptop, is my PC, which has undergone significant upgrades throughout the years. But this time, I’ve made the largest performance jump since I bought my pc. Originally, I had the ASUS Prime B550 Plus AC-HES AM4 Motherboard, a Ryzen 7 3700x CPU, and a Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 Ram in 32GB. In my new PC, I’ve made the huge leap to the ASUS ROG STRIX X870-A Gaming Wifi Motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Processor, and 32GB of G-Skill Trident Z Royal Neo DDR5 RAM running at 6400Mhz. The X870-A motherboard comes with a beautiful clean design, stunning performance, and exclusive AI features to help supercharge your workflow! Firstly, I enabled PBO in the BIOS to reduce CPU temperatures, installed a thermalright AM5 contact frame V2, and Arctic MX6 thermal paste. The X870-A Gaming WiFi comes equipped with ASUS AI Intelligence, which includes multiple software tools such as AI Networking 2, AI Overclocking, and AI cooling! The AI networking program works great and helps you prioritize games over background processes to make sure you get the best connection! Speaking of connection, this is a WiFi 7 motherboard, which supports 2.4, 5, 6, and 7Ghz WiFi bands, which means I can take advantage of my WiFi 6E router, using the 6GHZ band. This motherboard is stunning and I recommend this to anyone who wants a clean and reliable AM5 motherboard from the most reliable motherboard company in the world! This 7800X3D is a huge leap in performance with the AMD 3D-V cache performing so well under stressful situations, which makes it much more powerful than my old 3700x. The old boost clock of my old CPU was 4.2ghz, and the 7800x3d has a base clock speed of 4.2Ghz, with a boost clock all the way up to 5ghz, which I achieved using the AI overclocking tool in my motherboard's BIOS. The CPU is held down with a AM5 contact frame for better contact to the AIO, and to prevent thermal paste from spilling on my new motherboard. I went for the trident z royal neos from g skill because of their high reliability and stable overclocks! This ram is 32GB, with 2 sticks of 16GB, 6400mhz clock, and a CL timing of 30, which is great for everyday tasks! My CPU cooler is the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 V2 AIO, with Lian Li TL RGB fans on the radiator mounted on the top of my NZXT H9 Case, which I might upgrade to a O11 vision or O11 vision compact in the future. The other 6 fans are TL-LCD fans, and they are both reverse blades so you can still get the correct airflow, and still have it look nice! My GPU is still the same, being the RTX 3060Ti 8GB, and a Lian Li strimer plus cable connecting it to the PSU, and a 24 pin strimer for my motherboard!
Moving on to my peripherals, my keyboard is the Yunzii AL75 with Glorious Lynx Switches and a custom torii gate artisan keycap. My mouse is the Glorious Model O 2 wireless in white, and my mousepad is the prove them wrong mousepad by gutzyaiden.
My audio setup is overkill, but it makes my setup completely futureproof. I mainly use my Sony WH-1000XM4 over ear headphones for gaming and editing videos, and my creative pebble v3 speakers in white for general music listening and when I’m playing games at night and I don’t feel like using my headphones. My microphone is the Shure SM7B which is mounted with an elgato mic arm, and is connected to my elgato wave XLR audio interface. Directly under my monitor, I have my stream deck plus in white. If you don’t know what a stream deck is, it's just a macro pad made by elgato. You can program keys to open websites, perform macros, mute your microphone and more. The stream deck plus also adds a touch bar and 4 volume dials. I use each dial to control specific audio channels from the wave link software. All of my dials are in a dial stack, which means when I press the dial in, it cycles between different actions. I have it set up so one option is my audio, and the other is my stream’s audio. So for my first action I have music volume, next to that is browser volume, and the last 2 are discord and game volume.
I’m using a triple monitor setup with 2 stacked and 1 vertical monitor. My main monitor is the NZXT Canvas 32Q, my top monitor is the Dell P2412H, and my side monitor is the Dell P2210, both of these monitors are old and in the future i plan to get a nice IPS panel 240hz monitor as my main monitor and move the Canvas 32Q to the side, and get another cheap monitor for the top. All of these monitors are on a Vivo monitor arm in white. I wrapped all the monitor cables in white cable sleeves I bought off of amazon to hide the wires and make them blend in better. I also used these for the cables coming out of my PC.
Main Monitor:
To the left of my setup, I have a white bookshelf displaying a Lian Li Edge PSU box on the top, filament on the second shelf, and filament boxes on the bottom shelf. Above my bookshelf, I have an IKEA Skadis pegboard to display multiple tech products and pictures of my dog Ollie. Behind my setup I have my bed. Above my bed, I still have the same IKEA Lack Shelves, but with a refreshed display design. I curved the boxes inward towards the edges to create a more immersive display. My left shelf was the only apple display last year, but this year i kept the apple products in the middle, but added a mouse and stream deck box on the outside. The second shelf is full of all the components in my PC, creating this really cool DIY shelf displaying the products I worked hard for and that I care about the most.
This was my August 2025 Studio Tour! Thank you for reading my first article here, and have an amazing day!
