Should I even consider Qubes OS if I’m someone who likes to play games on my PC? By the way, I don’t want to dual boot.

Not if you want to use your graphics card.

Qubes is not designed for this.

I guess it might be possible in the future, but I think that you’ll have issues with it. If I remember correctly for VFIO you need two graphics cards, one for the host and one for the guest or SR-IOV which consumer graphics cards don’t tend to have.

Or have they figured out some other way to do it?
