Speaking of playing distractions, the last thing you want is an uncomfortable chair. Be sure you have a gaming chair that will give you comfort when playing. If you tend to play for hours at a time, you do not want back and neck issues because the chair is not a good fit. You may also get to a point where you decide to ditch your console and move towards cloud gaming. Before doing so, make sure you see the pros and cons of both. No matter the equipment you will need now and down the road, do your research and don’t rush buying it.
