A pile of new equipment—sporting new features—fine-tunes desktop gaming.

ACER PREDATOR X34

This 34-inch display packs nearly two times as many pixels as a standard HD monitor and gently curves to fully saturate your field of view. It's a first-person shooter's dream screen, with a special mode to brighten gloomy dungeons and a crosshair-bolding mode for snappier sniping. Oh, and there's no lag, so when you get blasted you'll have only yourself to blame.

LOGITECH G703 + POWERPLAY

You don't have to plug in this wireless gaming mouse to charge it—just pushing it around on Logitech's Powerplay pad keeps it juiced up at all times. The mouse responds as quickly as my reflexes, and I don't have to worry about battery life anymore. That peace of mind is well worth the asking price: $100 for the mouse, $100 for the pad.
