Peripherals
I have a number of peripherals attached to my pc that I use on a regular basis (some of course I use all the time). I didn't want to have too many and I certainly try to make use of all the ones I have. Let's get into it!
I use the Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones as my primary headphones and the Steelseries Wireless Siberia 800 for wireless listening (although I don't move around all that much when I'm at my desk and it's easier to simply use the wired ones whenever I'm listening or stepping). The ATH's are a fantastic headphone for all-round use, although they're a little towards music rather than gaming and sound effects, they are probably the best value one can get under 200 dollars (I got mine for 150 on Amazon). I spent many months researching and reading reviews about what I wanted to get (some other options included the AKG-K240, Phillips Fidelio X1), but dollar efficiency won out and I went with the best I could find for a good price.
These here are the audio controllers for the Siberia 800s as well as the Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface. The controller is plugged in via TOSlink cable and controls most of the functions of the headphones, as well as providing the charging dock for the batteries, and the Focusrite provides amplification as well as a proper interface for my speakers, which are the KRK Rokit 4 monitor speakers (not pictured). When I didn't have the interface, the speakers were plugged directly from RCA to 3.5mm analog and the quality was not good. There was no amplification which required me to turn the db boost up real high on the speakers, leading to huge amounts of static.
The Focusrite also allows me to have both my wired headphones and the speakers plugged in simultaneously for extra functionality, but also a plug for a microphone, which I've yet to look into.

I also have a few other peripherals that I didn't take pictures of. I'll list them as follows:
Logitech c930e webcam: The C920 is one of the most popular HD webcams that Youtubers use, and the C930 is the updated version. It has better wide angle viewing as well as generally better HD, at only a small premium in price. That being said, Logitech don't come out with webcams all that often so this one is a little old (2015), but it goes to show how popular it is as a product (still very good to this day).
Logitech Ultra Flat keyboard: You might be able to see this in my other photos and it may be a little strange to believe, but I don't use a gaming or mechanical keyboard, or even anything special! I use a 30-dollar old Logitech that I bought in 2008, and is the best keyboard I've ever used. As much as I'd like something new and flash, I'm so used to my Logitech that an upgrade is simply not worth it. It doesn't have any special keys like function keys or media keys, but it doesn't matter - it does the job and it does it well. I'm also used to it for Stepmania and a change of any sort is highly likely to bring me down a notch.
Logitech F310 wired gamepad: I got the Logitech gamepad a year before I bought my PS4, and I used it to play Trails in the Sky on Steam. A great controller that has the feel and build of a PS2 controller (but chunkier and heavier). It sounds a little cheap, at least compared to the more advanced, slick PS4 dualshock, but I think it's an unfair comparison to make. I love my F310 and I actually wouldn't mind to find more games to play with it just to give myself an excuse to use it more. It's been sitting under my monitors in front of me for months now, ever since I got my PS4 and played Persona for several months!
