As far as I am aware the PC gaming hardware market has never been stronger than it is now. PC gaming isn't going anywhere, the slowdown in PC sales is more about the lower powered general-purpose computers people buy from Dell, HP etc. to put in their homes for general browsing/word processing/email etc. Those kinds of PCs have been and are being largely replaced by the use of tablets and smart phones. Also individual hardware components like CPUs, motherboards and graphics cards generally aren't included in these declining numbers. It's more about full systems from manufacturers like those I mentioned above.
