I just built my first PC! Woo!
Specs:
MOBO: MSI Intel Z97 LGA 1150 DDR3 USB 3.1
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1 80+ GOLD
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 LGA 1150 CPU
GPU: NVIDIA 760 (don't judge all my games I've played including GTA5 run at ultra)
Ram: 8 gigs
Whatever, I'm excited! Now I have a question, /g/. I need your help.
I have an L shaped desk (pictured) and I want to know the best setup for my PC and my two monitors. I also have a 3 foot long mouse pad that takes up a bit of space. Suggestions??
(I know it's a mess, sorry. Just wanting inputs before I go OCD and make everything look clean and neat)
Thanks in advance.

>gta 5 running on ultra with a 760
No. But keep telling yourself that 15fps is ultra.

Old GPU I got for $100, also don't give a shit about spending $500 or whatever on a GPU.

by saying good job though. Now fix the fucking cables in that thing because they look a shit.

Corsair 200R. $60 with plenty of airflow. I like it. It's simple.

>MSI motherboard
Enjoy your RMA

Man if your desk was a little bit wider it would probably be ideal to split the screens in the corner and have your keybaord and mouse also in the corner. Personally I would put the tower on a wood riser or something on the floor and bundle the cables together to make it easier to tidy. This would also make your laptop more available in your immediate work area and/or have game wikis up on it while you play (if you're into the MMO thing).
I also think that in your situation you should turn the smaller screen vertical to allow maximum 4chan shitposting capacity
Maybe make a nice slidey keyboard tray below the desk so you can get your monitor more straight on with your head so you aren't putting strain on your neck or back. That or get a taller stand for the monitor.
Last recommendation is to put mini-fridge and switch to Pabst Blue Ribbon. Also get that fucking lawn chair out of your room.
Hope this helps!
