Expensive PC gaming is really myth. Ofcourse today when GPU are not in shops at all it may be true, but it's very specific situation, it never happend before.
On console, you have very expensive games and hardware is granted from those games, you also have to pay for online and living period of modern consoles is not so long, consolists are changing their consoles maybe more often than average PC gamer. Games doesn't need some crazy HW like before, for FHD, some 8 years old GPU and 10 years old CPU can be still usefull. Also on PC you have very long back compatibility, you can run pretty much everything from XP era (2001+) and with emulators or some mods even older Win 9x or even DOS games. Ofcourse you sometimes have some game which doesn't work, but most of older games work.
What I hate about modern PC gaming is crazy number of clients you need have installed, that will be problem to the future, players are really annoyed by that.
PS: Input lag created by USB is irrelevant, the biggest input lag is made by game engine and by low FPS, when you have FPS 80+, it's mostly ok, when you have 60 or lower, you can feel input lag. But who is really putting mouse and keyboard to USB HUB? That's really weird to me, you have USB ports directly for mouse and keyboard on your motherboard.
PC gaming can be complicated, especially when you don't speak English, but that is just how it is today, all those clients etc....and consolists have similar problem, sometimes some game just doesn't work even on console, but on PC you have mostly some ways how to fix it, on console you just have to hope that patch will solve that.
I don't want to lie to consolists, building of PC can be tricky, sometimes your ram profiles doesn not work and you have to set all parameters manualy etc....
But that shits about thermal paste are really ridiculous, this is actually very simple, most of heat transfers only thru center of CPU, edges of heatspreader are not so hot and also cooler sometimes are smaller than actually CPU so put little ball of paste to center of CPU is really enough, you can't really screw it in way that it will not work.
PC gaming was never dying, but PC gamers are very sensitive on things they don't like, they will not really buy every single new game when they think it sucks. But look on sells of hardware.
BTW I don't even know how people download games illegaly now, I never needed it since I have work, except some very old games which mostly have gog version so you don't even need crack. I pirate mostly very old game in their original release for retro gaming, becaue GOG installation does not work in Win 98.

I used to be a devoted PS3 \ PS4 gamer and loved it. Now I did not avoid PC gaming because it was too expensive because, the one thing I have is enough of money. I'm not rich but neither am I suffering even in the Pandemic. I work as a computer geek. All this pandemic lock down staying at home crap was driving me crazy. Looking for anything I could to fill my time I finally decided to see if I could build a computer from scratch. ( After HP said it would take over a month to get s way less powerful Alienware custom PC ready for me at twice the price.rice of an awesome custom build.
I built a RYZEN 9XT CPU brought good RGB memory and an ok case with RGB fans. Two 2 TB SSD drive sticks directly tied into the mother board, plus a 4 TB mechanical hard drive to store games and videos. A big gaming monitor capable of supporting up to 144 MHz refresh rates in HDR. Finally I chose a brought an NVIDIA GE FORCE 1070 Super GPU. Yes this was an over the top system.
I play old games first game I played was Fallout New Vegas. There were mod's galore out for Fallout New Vegas that improved almost everything about the game. I remember playing Fallout New Vegas on PS3 and it was horrible. The more time I put in playing Fallout New Vegas more buggy and unstable the game until crashing and becoming unplayable. Because of both quality iomprovement mods and enhanced graphics mods Fallout New Vegas became a new game to me. Saves were effortless. Glitches were few and the actual game space was beautiful to the point where I'd just look around to enjoy the environment.
Older games are hard to play on PC but new games seem to run fine right after download and install. The Outer Worlds ran on PC without me having to do a thing to it. I ended up loving PC gaming so much I built 3 more systems for me and one for my fat boy brother.

I am from Alabama, I actually rode a short bus, took special ED classes until I dropped out at 16. I am telling you, its easy. If I could figure it out and build a PC that works great without breaking anything you can too. The only mistakes I made on my 1st build:
- I screwed the M.2 directly into the motherboard instead of using the stand-off.
- My CPU was too powerful for my graphics card, instead of spending 500 on a CPU, and 500 on a GPU, I could have made smarter choices and got a stronger gaming exp. (i9 9900k/2070 Super)
- Cable management had to be fixed, because it was atrocious.
- The motherboard I picked out needed a bios update for the processor I went with (Z370 board on 9th generation intel.) When I noticed the PC wouldn't post, I assumed the board was DOA, so I ended up taking the board back and exchanging it for a MSI Z390 Carbon AC.

I'd say building a PC from parts is still borderline hard to do. The one thing that still makes PC's hard to build are those tiny PWR, Reset, HDD and PWR+ and PWR- cables that must be plugged correctly into the motherboard or else nothing works. The print on the motherboard telling you to put what cables where is always tiny, difficult to read and hard to access. It would work much better if the case makes consolidated the pins into a single connector so it is easy as pie to get those pins correctly set. If those front panel pins were standardized into one single connector on the case only then would I say anyone could put a computer together in their sleep. Building a Ryzen system is easy as falling off a rock for me as I've built 5 of them.

I wanna shout out all the console players who think that making the jump to a PC setup is going to require the latest hardware and absolute buckets of money to be a -good- pc.
You're not going to be boasting 120 fps on ultra graphics in the latest games, but a simple 1060 paired with a 5th gen i7 and even ddr3 memory will see you handle a good chunk of modern titles.
This idea that PC gamers portray where you HAVE to have the absolute best is nuts and not the case. You just need a comprehensive system with decent specs. Something you could achieve for around the $500 dollar mark to comfortably play modern titles with high(er) frames.
Plenty of budget builds on the tube to find.

The best latency for keyboard and mouse is when using the ancient ps2 connecters xD xD
I don't remember who did the tests but they had the on screen latency between click and actual action.. the difference was so small any normal person wouldn't notice and most pro gamers wouldn't even notice xD but apparently it's still the best option...

About Console killers. There is one way to do it:
1: Preconfigured package that is literally plug-and-play.
2: Cheap hardware.
3: Expensive games.
4: No keyboards or mice. Just analogue hand controllers.
5: Lock out anything that isn't a game.
oh... wait... we just made another console. Oh well.

Everythings is expensive in my country, $100 is the above average 1 month salary, internet subscription is expensive and the providers charge more mb than you're actually using, plus consoles do not have West Africa in their list of countries even mobile games exclude us from worldwide wide in game events

100% is pretty easy to build a pc i bought all my parts when I was 17 to build my first one thinking i was going to have a hard putting it all together but was presently surprised that it is essentially plug and play

So much has changed since this video. Now with Sony porting over almost all their -exclusive- games, PC is the best system to play the most games on. GoW comes out a week from today, Ghosts of Tsushima in Feb (supposedly), etc.
