What will a standard issue gaming PC look like in 2030?

64 Core Quantum Plasma Array CPU
512GB Phased Charged Tachyon Ram
100TB Reversed Polarity Liquid State Drive
64GB Coiled Anti-matter GPU

Don't forget the highly effective Star Trek buzzword generator!

I added a pretty ambitious prediction to my post:

Intel releases a 10nm chip

Oh man I could actually see that, with ram hitting a performance point where they require active cooling, and of course RGB.

Already done 16+ years ago.

I owned RGB DDR2 and I know there were fan kits as well.

With our rate of progress, in 10 years I suspect the standard gaming PC will be similar to a high end one today.
GPUs, especially at the $200 point, are progressing very slowly. As does RAM, typical DDR4 is now max JEDEC.

~12 cores +/- a few @ +60% performance
32GB DDR5 6400 CL40
RTX3090 performance
2TB PCIe 4 x4 SSD

Edit:

Hmm...nvm

seeing as how I am from the future........

Whatever it is, Chrome will bring it to its knees within three hours. I remember when programmers took pride in writing efficient code.

I would imagine the re-thinking of what component is most important. So, I am thinking an ATX-sized video card with an additional socket for whatever CPU you want to stick in it, plus some expensive slots. It'll have soldered 10TB GDDR50 memory so that integrated CPU can run the operating system right off the graphics memory. Now, to cool all of this nonsense you will need a freezer, not a refrigerator, and use the only ThunderBolt12 or USB69 Type-Z SuperSuperSuperSuperSuperSuperSpeed port to the monitor with KBM and other accessories all using Bluetooth 13, which is evil.

Yeah this is basically already available.
Intel whole system on a PCI card normally for use in a nuc, if they would replace storage with optane and add a reasonably large XE iGPU you would be all set.

I wonder what the replacement for MSAA graphics and other anti aliasing will be in 10 years. And how it will bring the above pc systems to their knees in games.

It will be... AMAZING!

Ok, let me be the first go to on record to say that most people will NOT have one of those transparent projection displays to go with their gaming PC in 2030

Actually I could see transparent screens maybe become a thing. It sort of is possible to do already but maybe with a new tech it would be clear like glass while showing clear display colours without relying on a backlight. I don't see a real use for that, but it could be a niche thing that eventually comes out, maybe more for commercial use like storefront windows. You would hang the screen right at the window to show sales or if store is open/closed etc but you can still see inside the store when the display is off, or around display elements where the screen is "black". Fast food places could also use it to double as a Covid barrier, it would show your order info while you are ordering and you can still see the person you're ordering from. Wait, I don't think we'll be ordering from humans by 2030... But you get the idea, I could see such a tech come out and be used. I don't think the average person would be buying it though. Maybe to put on their wall as accent decoration, like to display random pictures etc but it kind of blends in with the decor.
