If it doesn't have RGB, it isn't on my desk.

Its the RGB and the CLICKING for me boo!!!! YAASSSSSS! I got to hear that fast clicking noise and watch those lights! And the mouse has to match!!! BOOM!!!

It's the monitor. More specifically like a 49" ultrawide monitor. Ultrawide is love, ultrawide is life.

My favorite peripheral would be my headset. It's my portal to the outside word. It's how I communicate and listen to music. I'd say it's a must-have for anyone looking to spend time with friends online!

Good audio is essential to me! Nice headphones are a must have.

For me, I'd have to say it's probably my mouse. Whether I'm using my gaming PC, my personal laptop or my work laptop, I'm usually working on the computer for an extended period of time, and an uncomfortable mouse makes my hand hurt after a while. I avoid wireless mice when possible, because I never remember to keep them charged. And a lot of "gaming" mice have WAY too many buttons for my taste. Thankfully, the Corsair M65 series has been perfect for me. I can use it for extended periods without my hand cramping up, it has just enough buttons, and the price is reasonable. I've got three different generations of M65 spread across my computers, and I'll likely be getting another one soon. As for the lighting, I'm not really fan of RGB, I don't want my computers looking like they belong at a rave. Any RGB peripherals or components I have usually just get set to a static white.

I looooove my Ultrawide for normal computer use, especially my online D&D playing. For gaming, it's hit or miss. Granted, I am usually not playing the newest releases.

My gpu, first thing I bought for myself honestly and excited to use instead of the igpu that was in my pc.

I need a good mouse. Currently using a cheapo keyboard and headset haha. I dislike RGB stuff so that really cleans up my choices.

Monitor for sure.  1440p @ 165hz has been so sweet.

It's gotta be the monitors and the headset for me. I need to see in 1440p or 4K and hear quality sound through my Astro headset. It's so good it can pick up sign language.

I'd have to say multiple monitors. I happen to like good peripherals all around, but I can tolerate a lousy keyboard or mouse if I'm working on someone else's computer, but I absolutely hate using a single monitor, or a laptop monitor. I like screen real estate! My least important would be a headset. I'm usually playing most games without audio, because I often have TV or movies going on another monitor.
