A gaming setup under £750 is the sweet spot between a basic starter desk and a more premium £1000 setup.
This guide is for people who already have a gaming PC, laptop, console, or handheld and want to build the desk setup around it. It does not include the gaming PC, console, laptop, or handheld itself.
At this budget, the goal is balance. You have enough room to upgrade the monitor experience, improve desk comfort, add proper audio, and choose reliable peripherals without spending the whole budget on one flashy item.

What to prioritise in a £750 gaming setup
The monitor should be the biggest upgrade over a basic £500 setup. At this level, you can start looking beyond a simple 1080p starter screen and choose something more immersive. A curved ultrawide monitor can make single-player games, racing games, simulation games, strategy games, and general multitasking feel much more premium.
The desk and chair should be comfortable enough for regular use. You still need to be realistic: this is not a luxury ergonomic setup, but it should feel better than a basic student desk and dining chair combination. A compact electric standing desk adds flexibility, while a high-back chair with a footrest suits more relaxed gaming sessions.
The keyboard and mouse should be reliable rather than expensive for the sake of it. A budget RGB keyboard gives the setup a gaming look without wasting too much money, and a trusted wireless gaming mouse keeps the desk cleaner.
The accessory choices should solve real gaming problems. A headset is useful for multiplayer, Discord, console gaming, and late-night sessions. A proper mouse pad gives the mouse a more consistent surface and helps the setup feel finished.
Why this setup works
This setup gives you a stronger gaming experience than the £500 page without pushing close to £1000. The curved ultrawide monitor is the main upgrade, supported by a compact electric desk, casual comfort chair, wireless gaming mouse, RGB keyboard, wired gaming headset, and thick gaming mouse pad.
It is best for someone who wants a better gaming desk setup but still wants to stay sensible. It should suit PC gaming, console gaming at a desk, student bedrooms, spare rooms, and hybrid gaming/work spaces.
Where the compromises are
The chair is more of a budget comfort chair than a premium ergonomic chair. It works for casual gaming, studying, and general desk use, but it should not be treated as a high-end office chair for long professional workdays.
The keyboard is a budget membrane keyboard rather than a premium mechanical keyboard. That keeps the budget focused on the monitor and core setup.
The ultrawide monitor is the main reason this setup feels more premium. If you mostly play competitive FPS games, you may prefer a smaller high-refresh 24-inch or 27-inch monitor instead.
What to upgrade first later
If you upgrade this setup later, start with the chair if you spend long sessions at the desk. After that, consider a premium mechanical keyboard, lighter gaming mouse, wireless headset, or better cable management depending on what bothers you most.
FAQs

Yes, mainly because the monitor and comfort level are stronger. The £500 setup is better for strict budgets, while this £750 setup gives more room for an immersive screen, better desk comfort, and extra accessories.
Choose this £750 setup if you want a strong balanced setup without spending close to £1000. Choose the £1000 setup if you want a more premium chair, desk, keyboard, and overall finish.
An ultrawide monitor can be excellent for immersive games, racing, simulation, strategy, open-world games, and multitasking. Competitive FPS players may prefer a smaller high-refresh monitor instead.
The keyboard is kept affordable so more of the budget can go into the monitor, desk, chair, mouse, headset, and mouse pad. A premium keyboard is a good future upgrade.
