It is way easier than this to game on PC these days than this person is talking about.
Buy a gaming computer that has good recent ratings across a few sites like Google, Amazon, Tom’s hardware.
Thats its! Lower the graphics settings in the game if you are experiencing issues.
Thats it! Play most all games for the next 5 years before worrying about upgrading.
Then when you do upgrade components be fascinated about how easy it is with a tiny bit of googling how to build a computer/upgrade hardware.
Thats it!

There’s more technical troubleshooting that goes beyond the scope of the typical tech illiterate human than you’d think. There’s a reason IT support requires no education and still pays decently well, because way too many people can’t troubleshoot at all.
That is the thing, consoles don’t experience issues for the user, like ever.
If they do encounter an issue, it is up to the developer to fix them, not themselves.
If it is a hardware issue, they just bring it into the shop where they bought it or buy a new one.
That is the power of having standardized hardware/software. You offload every single technical knowledge you should posses in order to use it to the companies.
It is the same with cars. Some people like to tinker with it. Others are afraid they will make it worse if they do anything themselves, including changing oil.
