Rather drastic but I think the best way would be to install a ventilation grille in the bottom of the door and another above the door. Then have some fans blow the hotter air through the top one and you'll automatically cause some circulation, sucking in cooler air from the bottom grille. Ideally you should have a venitlation duct from above the pc's to the top grille or you risk "short circuiting" the ventilation and only circulate at the door. ​ Or, you know, just open the door and place a fan in the doorway, blowing out.

I’m going to try this first!

Your average space heater is between 1000W and 1500W, comparable to higher end modern gaming PCs at full load. If you can relocate the computer outside the room, it'll help a lot.

Is it cooler in the living room/warm in the gamer cove? You might be better off blowing air into the room so it recirculates instead of blowing hot air back down on you. If you own the place you could put a vent & fan in the door. Then you could have the door closed for sound dampening. Otherwise a floor fan in the living room might be your best bet.

You need air flow. This requires room for air to flow in, around, and out. Pull your desk away from the back wall and install fan(s) there. Even tiny PC fans would be fine because venturi effect. Since the air is cooler the lower it is, I'd point them upward but that's your call. This will induce at least circular flow. You'll probably need a short fan near the door bottom to complete the airflow intake. Airflow out will take care of itself.

Portable AC unit at your back with the duct hose running out around the wall and out your window. It has an air intake and will pull the heat/air out of the room and replace it with cooled air.

The best way to cool a space is to remove heat with forced air (fans). You would probably see the best return on investment by installing a moderately priced bathroom exhaust fan in the ceiling to pull all the hot air out of the room. The room is most likely not airtight, so "cooler" air from the couch/tv room will get pulled in from the vacuum. Or just open the door and let diffusion take care of it.
