In this video I’m going through the gaming PC parts you should straight-up avoid buying if you care about FPS per dollar. Too many people throw money at the wrong things—then wonder why the PC feels “fine” but doesn’t actually perform. I’m breaking down the common mistakes I keep seeing with core parts like GPUs and CPUs (bad value combos), RAM and SSD choices that look good on a spec sheet but don’t translate into real-world gaming, plus the classic traps with motherboards and power supplies. The main takeaway is simple: stop paying for marketing, stop buying parts that don’t match your use case, and stop cheaping out where it actually matters (hello, PSU). I also point you toward better-value options and tiers so you can build around your target resolution and refresh rate without wasting cash. If you’re trying to get more frames for your money—and avoid the parts that quietly ruin an otherwise solid build—this is the no-nonsense checklist you want before you hit “buy.”
