Recommended Gears By Anirban Saha (Tried & Tested)

I always looked in finding the best peripherals that I can add to my own workspace to improve my productivity. I kept trying many setups and kept improving them with better items.

This post is about my current setup to help you know what I personally use day-to-day. I recommend only those which I use for my daily work and I found them really working well.

This post has are Affiliate Links on this Page pointing to the Gears I use in my setup. I earn a small commission if you purchase from those links. You can read the disclosure here.

How I began My Computer Setup?

Previously, I was working with my Macbook Air, and then I decided to create a dedicated workspace that would enhance my productivity even further!

I looked at many videos and beautiful desk setups on YouTube for awesome ideas and finally decided to take my workspace to the next level!

It started with deciding on every peripherals and accessory that would be mandatory for me, but that would also enhance the look of my workspace. 

I also play games often, so I decided to set up my gaming RIG.

My Setup Has changed a Bit. This is what it looks like now! 🙂

New Things added to the setup are:

• Logitech M585 Mouse (Works Flawlessly)
• XVX M84 Keyboard (Feels good using it. It has Gateron Yellow Switches.)
• AmazonBasics Extended MousePad

My Workspace Setup to Boost Productivity (2022)

Here are the things I bought to set up my workspace:

1. My Monitor: UltraWide Gaming Monitor 34 inch- from LG

LG manufactures good quality IPS panels, which I am really a fan of. It increases the viewing angle, produces accurate colors, and has Radeon FreeSync that synchronizes refresh rate with FPS provided by my Radeon RX 580 Graphics card.

Being a 34-inch size ultrawide monitor enables ample scope for multi-tasking every day with 2-4 screens with ease.

I am very much happy to use this monitor from LG.

ii) XVX M84 Mechanical Keyboard (Read Review of XVX M84)

4. Keycap I use on MK881: Beautiful White PBT Keycaps from HUO JI with 104 Keys Set

Gaming Mouse Pad

I currently have these two mouse pads in my setup. I use AmazonBasics one now.

1. MousePad from RedGear
2. Extended MousePad From AmazonBasics

My CPU Configuration

Choosing The Procesor

I’m a big fan of the new AMD Ryzen CPUs.

I recently upgraded from an Intel i5 5th Gen to the new Ryzen 7 3700X, and I have to say, I’m very impressed with the performance improvement.

The new CPU is not only much faster, but it’s also much more energy efficient, which is great for both my electric bill and the environment.

I was a little hesitant to switch to the new platform, as I was worried about compatibility issues with my existing components.

But, so far, everything has been working great. I would definitely recommend looking into the AMD Ryzen CPUs.

Choose the latest version and you are good to go with it!

Not only Processor is important, but you need to check the other component to avoid bottlenecks in performance.

Other important factors are RAM and Hard Disk.

Choosing RAM for My SetUp

The main thing to check in Computer RAM is the DDR version, the latest it is you will get better performance.

There are a few things to consider when choosing RAM, including capacity, speed, and latency.

For capacity, you’ll want to think about how much RAM you need. If you’re just using your computer for basic tasks, you can get away with 8GB of RAM(Previously 4 GB would have worked Fine).

However, if you’re planning on doing more intense tasks like gaming or video editing, you’ll need 8GB or more.

As for speed, you’ll want to choose RAM that’s fast enough to keep up with your processor.

Most processors nowadays are fast enough that they won’t be bottlenecked by slower RAM, but if you’re planning on doing some serious gaming or other performance-intensive tasks, you’ll want to make sure you get fast RAM.

Latency is also important, and lower latency is better.

Choosing Hard Disk for My Setup

In the case of a Hard disk, I thought of Going with a Regular HDD to cut costs. After, I checked its Read/Write speed and Compared it with the fastest ones available like SDD and NVMe I completely dropped the plan to purchase a Regular HDD.

With an NVMe(Non-Volatile Memory Express), Read/write speeds (I/O speed) are blazing fast. It’s amazing how fast it boots my PC.

Which one should you choose?

If you are looking for the fastest possible hard disk for your computer, then you should definitely get an NVMe SSD.

If you need a lot of storage space, then you can choose between NVMe and SATA SSDs. If you are on a budget, then a SATA SSD is a good choice.

Conclusion

Let’s conclude!

Everyone’s requirement and taste to set up a workspace is different. Some prefer going cheaper on the motherboard, and processor, and increasing the budget for Graphics cards.

However, I felt without a Good quality motherboard running this high-configuration setup would not be a good idea. I love the Ryzen series of processors starting from 3rd Gen.
