Want to surprise that special someone in your life with something this holiday season?

Or just looking to upgrade (and or explore the magical world of PC gaming?)

We have you covered with the TOP 10 PC things to get in 2015 (and beyond).

Number 1:

An actual PC. And without doubt the most GEEK one available at the moment: the PIZERO.

What is a PIZERO? It is a $5 PC you can carry in your backpack or pocket!

For more information have a look here https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero/

Number 2:

The Xbox One controller for Windows 10.

We all know that the MOUSE will always be the preferred input device for gaming, but perhaps you want to stream your game to your new PIZERO or HTPC in the living room? The recently released XBOX one controller for Windows 10 will solve your input requirements.

Number 3:

A Star Trek holodeck. Or as close as you can on a salaried budget: a VR headset.

You have the option to pre-order the HTC Verve backed by Valve, or the Oculus Rift backed by Facebook.

Both these devices are set to change the way we view the (virtual) world forever.

Number 4:

What is better than having a top tier smart phone in your pocket? If that smart phone can also transform into a (basic) PC!

Enter the new Windows 10 Mobile devices with Continuum support. Hook your new 950 or 950 XL up to a Windows 10 Continuum dock, sync a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to it and you can impress your coworkers with all the extra desk space you suddenly have.

Number 5:

A new graphics card.

You probably do not NEED one yet (unless you received a VR headset …) but the CUD is always strong this time of year so why not splash out on a new AMD or NVidia GPU?

Number 6:

An Ultra-Wide screen monitor.

Having multiple screens at your battle station is so 2014. Grab a new high end Ultra-wide monitor and enjoy that extra screen real estate!

Number 7:

What boot time?

Time to upgrade that OS drive to a SSD!

Never experience load screens again with a super-fast SSD in your rig and if you really want to melt your friends’ faces off go for a PCIe SSD.

Number 8 and 9:

With great power comes great control!

Time to get a high performance gaming mouse and fully programmable mechanical keyboard.

For extra gaming cred you can get a dedicated set for each genre of games you play.

FPS/MMO/RPG there is a specialist keyboard and mouse for each of those!

Number 10:

An Apex predator does not just hunt by sight alone, time to step up and get a high end gaming headset to stalk your prey with!

Audio in modern video games is at least as important as good visuals so a good gaming headset is always a fantastic investment.

And that is my top 10 PC things to get for 2015 and beyond.

If you already have all the ‘must have’ boxes ticked, why not donate your old gear to a less fortunate gamer and light their way to the glory of Gaben?

When I asked my mom where I was from she said they caught a wild ape and shaved it… she weren’t joking.

This primate has an unhealthy obsession with all things tech and pc gaming and when not in front of his Battlestation he can be found roaming the Cape wildlands with his motorcycle.
