Desk recommendations?

So i have decided to up my game and have just ordered a Asus ROG Swift PG279Q for my setup..

The problem is, i'm genuinely not happy with the size of my desk.. Its from Ikea where i bought the legs separate.. it feels very shallow and too compact when trying to get anything done on it..

I'm potentially looking for a corner setup because i have a lot of Uni work to do and wouldn't mind a separate section for my laptop..

Any help would be much appreciated, this is the current desk:

That's because you HAVE THE BLOODY COMPUTER ON THE DESK.

I wouldn't have built a nice looking PC if i wanted to put it on the floor

Unfortunately the wall is a pretty thin plaster wall so wall mounting isn't really an option, as far as i'm aware my current desk is the Linnmon desk, not sure what kind of depth it has :|

I'm big in to CS:GO surfing and need a large area for mouse movement

Panic over, had a little trip down to warrington, this desk is huge compared to my last, plenty of room for everything

Good old Ikea

what is that desk called?

Ikea THYGE

It looks a lot smaller on the web-site, it is at least an extra 8-9 inches deeper than the ADILS/LINNMON desk tops, plus the legs/frame are a LOT more secure.. and much more and adjustable.

Its looking good, nice and clean. How are you finding the monitor?

Amazing, never used a high refresh rate before.. let alone 165hz.. And honestly i cannot see any backlight bleed even with it being IPS.
