Hardcore PC gamers won't buy pre-built PCs. Casual PC gamers, like hardcore ones, are actually growing, despite PC market shrinking. This apparent paradox is explained by the fact that for business and non gaming home computing, and for very casual gaming too, PCs have been powerful enough for some years to reach saturation and need replacements after a longer period of productive use than in the past. Add the facts that PC gamers are a subset of PC users, and that there aren't separated generations in gaming PCs, and the result is that PC gaming can still grow even when PC market overall is shrinking. This doesn't rule out the possibility that x86 PC market be in future marginalised by the growth of a new market spawned by non-x86 tablets. But this new market will replace old PC in all its useful features and functions, while being nimbler and cheaper thanks to having got rid of Wintel legacy.
