About This Video

In this video I’m tackling the doom-and-gloom question: is PC gaming actually dying, or are we just stuck in another cycle of pricing madness and weird hardware decisions? I break down what’s going on with RAM prices, SSD value, and the general state of the market—because if you’re thinking about building a gaming PC in 2026, you need a plan, not vibes. I also get into the GPU situation, including the kind of “where did it go?” energy around cards like the RTX 5070 Ti, and why stock/pricing swings can make people think the whole hobby is collapsing. My main take is simple: PC gaming isn’t dying—bad value is what kills the excitement. If you buy smart, avoid the obvious parts traps, and build around what actually moves the needle for FPS, you’re still getting the best overall gaming experience and the most flexibility. I also touch on why monitors and peripherals matter more than people admit, especially now that display tech (OLED, ultrawide, high refresh) can change how your whole setup feels even when GPU pricing is being… GPU pricing.
