From Death Stranding to Cyberpunk 2077, lots of high-profile PC games are coming out in the second half of this year. And you’re going to want a killer gaming PC to play them all. Luckily, Input guides editor Evan Rodgers recently wrote a piece on how to build one for under $1,000. He joins us to discuss. And later: Adobe Photoshop, the powerhouse photo-editing software, recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.
