We've chosen the best gaming desks based on hours of playing on both sitting and standing desks just to see which is worth your money.

The best gaming desk can quite literally change the way you game. At its simplest, a suitable gaming desk should give you plenty of space for your monitor and peripherals, all in a stable and adjustable frame. Pair it with an awesome gaming chair and your friends will marvel at your ergonomic superiority.

Choosing a desk to suit you isn't always an easy task. We reckon the best gaming desk is the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL for its laundry list of incredible features and great pricing. When choosing a gaming desk, ask yourself if are you looking to sit, stand, or both. There are benefits to spending some time on your feet, so a motorized standing desk, or a desk converter, might be a better fit for you.

If your budget isn't going to stretch to the pricey ol' Secretlab, then the best budget desk is the Flexispot E1 series. They're solid, affordable sitting/standing desks that look pretty good and won't break the bank, either. All the best gaming desks for any scenario are just a scroll away, so keep reading below.

A good desk for PC gaming wasn't high on Dave's agenda until he found that a cramped corner of his home, with a cobbled-together desktop was a recipe for not only discomfort but also long term back issues. Switching to a sitting/standing desk has changed all that and he's been a keen convert to finding people a good, ergonomic, and comfortable gaming setup ever since.

The Lian Li DK-04F is easily the gaming desk PC case, if for no other reason than that it will essentially be your computer's security device.

5. Fnatic X Chopvalue Revive Pro

The best sustainable gaming desk

If you're looking to make your PC life as eco-friendly as possible, then the Fnatic x ChopValue is the best sustainable gaming desk you can buy. Its major selling point is the fact that the desk surface is made from recycled chopsticks. Honest!

You can clearly see this in the finish of the surface: All the splinted different colours of wood come together to make a nice sort of butcherblock-styled top but with a lot more interest.

When purchasing the desk you can choose what logos you want to have carved into your chop top and you can make the Fnatic desk look as cool or clean as you like. Naturally, we went for a blazing PC Gamer logo for our review sample. Building the Fnatic takes a while but its parts are easy to wield, thanks to being in smaller chunks.

Overall, the ChopValue Revive Pro feels really tough. We even tried scratching it, to no avail, so its longevity certainly isn't in question. Neither are the desk controls and although they're very much like every other adjustable desk on the market, they work perfectly well, offering programmable levels of customisation.
