This is the place for all things PC gaming hardware related, especially news and GPU reviews! So if you want the latest tech news, especially GPU and CPU news, and the most in depth and up to date gaming PC component buying guides, stay tuned to the channel! I recommend and review which video cards to buy in each price class on a monthly basis, and test the performance in the latest PC games. I'm a high school math teacher, but I'm super into PCs and tech. I was looking for a creative outlet, so I thought I'd start a youtube channel, and it sort of took off! Subscribe and let me know what PC/tech related content you'd like me to make videos about.
