Anytime I'm on my Gaming PC it dramatically makes my internet slow in particular on my iPhone.

I literally don't even need to be playing games or any bandwidth hogging thing - aslong as I'm using the internet it'll slow things down on other devices.

I've not messed around with any network settings, I've tried 5ghz and 2.4ghz on PC still same thing.

This is my pc Wi-fi card:

Assuming your phone is also connected to the wifi?

Wifi is fairly simple in the fact that if there's a device that requires more bandwidth than other, it will take priority and slow everything down on the network. This is more noticeable on a slower network where bandwidth is hard to come by in the first place.

What could be causing it? Anything from Windows updates to game updates.

Maybe your pc is using more bandwith. If their both using the same network, they have to share it so the speeds wont be the same. check if anything is running in the bg maybe updates or something. uploading,streaming etc will also use alot
