Improving My Gaming Setup Without Spending a Ton! While staying within a budget!
I’m slowly building my dream gaming setup, on a budget and in a small space! My goal? Make it look and feel like me without breaking the bank. I’m obsessed with LED lighting (especially purple 😍) and anything visually pretty.
So naturally, I did what I do best: hopped on Amazon and went shopping! Shopping for my setup is honestly so relaxing. I wanted to create a space that’s neat, functional, and full of personality. And let’s be real if you know me, I always grab something new to wear too. Graphic t-shirts are totally my thing. Think 12-year-old boy trapped in a middle-aged woman’s body 😂! Frills and lace? Nah, not my vibe!
The Messy Cable Situation 🐾
Between my gaming gear and my fluffy shepherd leaving glitter (aka fur) everywhere, cleaning around my desk felt like a full-time job. The cables were wilding out and making it worse. I had to do something before my setup turned into a dust bunny playground!
Here’s what I grabbed to fix the chaos:
💜 Under Desk Cable Tray Tucked those cords up and out of sight. It’s made cleaning so much easier!
💜 8-Pack Cord Organizer Super handy, plus it came with extra stickers so I could rearrange things when I changed my mind (which happens a lot).
💜 LED Lights I thought I’d need a set for each monitor, but one set actually fit around both! I used the extra set under my desk for that cozy purple glow I love.
💜 “I’ll Be In My Office” Graphic Tee I couldn’t resist. Black, comfy, and matches my favorite colors. Because if gaming is my office, I need the uniform, right?

Final Thoughts
Every little upgrade helped make my space feel more “me” cleaner, cozier, and ready for long gaming sessions (with fewer cord tangles and less dust!).
If you’re working on your own budget-friendly setup, I hope this gives you some ideas! Feel free to share your favorite finds. I’m always looking for fun, affordable ways to level up my space. And hey, I’ll never turn down a good excuse to do more Amazon shopping! 😂🎮💜
I am sooo jelly of your cable management! your setup looks sooo good tooo!!!
