The all-white gaming setup: every part in white, slot by slot

A white gaming desk only works if nothing black breaks the picture. The white tower, monitors, keyboard, mouse, headsets, desk, arm, lights and speakers we list, with the gaps we could not fill.

NZXT Player Three gaming PC in a white case with white liquid cooler and RGB fans

An all-white gaming setup is mostly a matter of discipline. One black keyboard or a black monitor stand in the middle of a white desk reads like a hole in the picture, and it is the first thing a camera or a visitor notices. So this guide goes slot by slot and gives the white option we list for each one, with honest notes on performance, on what is only sold in one market, and on the two slots where white is still hard to find.

It is aimed at players who care about how the desk looks on stream or in photos, but who still want real gaming performance. Because white versions are rarer, expect fewer choices per slot than in our black setups, and sometimes a small premium.

The parts

The tower

The NZXT Player Three (White) is the cleanest-looking ready-made gaming PC we know. NZXT builds it in the white H6 Flow case with a white Kraken Elite 360 liquid cooler and RGB fans, so even the inside matches. It is a 4K machine: an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, an RTX 5080 (16 GB), 32 GB of DDR5 and a 4 TB SSD, on standard ATX parts that are easy to upgrade. Two catches: it is expensive, and the case is wide (about 29 x 43 x 41 cm), so measure the desk or floor space first. It is sold in the US only.

In France we do not list a white gaming tower yet. The workaround most white setups use is to keep the tower off the desk, on the floor or in a cabinet, so it never enters the frame. Our gaming PC picks list the towers sold there.

The monitor

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACG-W is the white gaming monitor proper: a 1440p fast IPS panel at 180 Hz, a white shell and stand, and Aura Sync lighting that follows the rest of your RGB. Its USB-C input takes a laptop or a handheld PC, but supplies only 7.5 W. It is sold in the US only, through a marketplace seller.

In both markets, the Dell 27 Plus S2725QC brings a white stand and a 4K panel at 120 Hz with FreeSync Premium and two HDMI 2.1 ports. It is not an esports screen, but 4K at 120 Hz suits an RTX 5080-class tower in story games, and the sharp text makes it a great work screen too. The Dell 34 Plus S3425DW is the white ultrawide: 3440 x 1440 at 120 Hz on a curved VA panel, which can smear a little in fast, dark scenes.

Two more white Dell screens fill the gaps. The Dell 32 Plus S3225QS is a flat 32-inch 4K screen at 120 Hz with deep VA contrast and two HDMI 2.1 ports for a console; its stand adjusts in height and tilt only. On a small budget, the Dell 24 Plus S2425HSM is a white 24-inch 1080p screen at 144 Hz with a fully adjustable stand, connected over HDMI only.

Keyboard and mouse

The Logitech G316 X 75 is the easiest white keyboard to recommend: a 75% layout, hot-swappable switches, double-shot PBT keycaps, a dial with an LED display and up to 8 kHz polling. The white version uses tactile switches. For the mouse, the Logitech G309 LIGHTSPEED connects over LIGHTSPEED for games or Bluetooth for a work laptop and runs over 300 hours on one AA battery. Both share Logitech's G HUB software, which keeps the lighting and settings in one place.

For competitive play, the white Logitech G PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED adds wireless LIGHTSPEED and Bluetooth, media keys and a volume roller, with GX Brown tactile switches under white keycaps. Battery life is up to 50 hours, so plan a weekly charge.

Headset

The Logitech G735 is the white RGB headset that actually looks like it belongs on a white desk. It is light at 273 g, has room for glasses, and mixes LIGHTSPEED, Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm cable. It is listed for PC and mobile only, and battery life drops to around 16 hours with the lights on. The white Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED is the cheaper option, often far cheaper in the US: 278 g, RGB on both cups, a detachable mic and up to 29 hours, and it works with a PlayStation as well as a PC. It has no Bluetooth.

If the same desk hosts a console, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni in white is the premium answer: a base station that mixes a PC, a console and a phone at once, real noise cancelling and two hot-swappable batteries. It is heavy at 339 g and expensive.

Camera and mic for streams

White is easy here. The Elgato Facecam Neo is only sold in white: 1080p at 60 fps with autofocus and a privacy shutter, clipped on top of the monitor. The Logitech G Yeti Orb is a small off-white USB mic with an RGB ring that sounds far better than a headset mic in a quiet room; it does pick up keyboard clicks. Our budget streaming setup explains the order to buy them in.

Desk, arm and chair

The IKEA MITTZON is a white sit/stand desk with a cable tray and a storage module for the power strip, which is half of what keeps a white desk clean. On a smaller budget, the white LAGKAPTEN / ALEX adds five drawers, but IKEA says it is not suitable for a monitor arm.

The Herman Miller Lima in white is one of the few good-looking white arms. It holds up to 6.5 kg, so check your monitor's weight without its stand before you order, and in France delivery took around 25 working days when we checked.

The chair is the second gap: we do not list an all-white gaming chair. The closest match is the Razer Iskur V2 X in light gray fabric, which sits calmly next to white furniture.

Light and sound

The Nanoleaf Lines are white bars that light the wall behind them, so the glow looks designed rather than stuck on, and they react to games and music. Each bar gives about 20 lumens, which is decoration, not desk light. For the desk itself, the BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 is grey rather than white, but it sits on top of the monitor where it barely shows.

For speakers, the white Edifier MR4 are small monitor speakers with a front headphone output, and the Sonos Era 100 is a single white box that streams over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Mat and cables

There is no white mat in our catalogue, and a white cloth mat would stain anyway. The Logitech Desk Mat Studio Series comes in Mid Grey, and also in Dark Rose, Lilac and Lavender if you want a pastel accent. Under the desk, the white IKEA FÖRSÄSONG tray clamps on without drilling and holds the power strip, and the IKEA TRIXIG set includes white adhesive cable holders for the runs you can see.

Where the money goes

In the US, the Player Three takes most of the budget on its own: you are paying for 4K performance and 4 TB of storage as much as for the colour. The monitor is the second line. The keyboard, mouse and headset are mid-range in price, and the desk, arm, lights and cable gear make up the rest.

If the Player Three is beyond your budget, keep a black tower out of sight and spend on the parts that are always in view: the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse and the headset. That is where white makes the difference on camera.

What to upgrade first later

  1. Cable management, first and cheapest. A white desk shows every cable, and our cable management guide has the method.
  2. The arm, to lift the monitor off its stand and clear the desk.
  3. Light. Nanoleaf on the wall, a light bar on the screen: our desk lighting picks explain how to layer them.
  4. The headset, if you add a console to the desk.

Our Pastel Stream setup puts the Facecam Neo, the G733, the white G PRO X TKL and a Key Light Neo on a white desk. Want the same performance without the colour constraint? The gaming setup for 2,500 has more choice in every slot. For keyboards in particular, see the best gaming keyboards. You can also filter the Setup Builder on the white style and let it pick the rest.

Questions people ask

Is there a white gaming PC sold in France?

We do not list one yet. The NZXT Player Three White is sold in the US only. Most white setups in France keep a black tower on the floor or in a cabinet, out of the frame, and buy white parts for everything on the desk.

Which white headset works with a PC and a console?

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni in white works with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and mobile, and mixes several sources at once. The Logitech G735 looks great on a white desk but is listed for PC and mobile only.
