Gamers who invest time and money into their personal computer and use it as their main gaming platform with the graphic settings cranked up to maximum. Unlike the dirty console peasants, members of the glorious PC gaming master race have the freedom to upgrade their hardware, overclock, modify their game files, and play games at a level of quality unobtainable on consoles.
While anyone can go out and buy a powerful gaming computer which comes pre-assembled, many purists will argue that the money saved and experience gained from building a computer yourself is what actually makes someone a member of the PC master race.

Ryan: Did you hear Dave just built a $2,000 gaming computer?
Jeff: Yeah, he threw away his Xbox and has been playing Spreadsheet Simulator 3 for a week straight.
Ryan: He has truly become a member of the PC master race.

A facetious term used to claim the superiority of gamers who use personal computers, coined by comedian and video game critic Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. Generally used to mock people who take the PC-console divide far too seriously.
Often contrasted against "dirty console peasants", an equally jocular term.

"Consoles are so much better than you PC nerds. You can like, hook them up to TVs instead of just monitors."
"Except you can totally do that. PC master race, buy an HDMI cable noob."

(PCMR for short) An incredibly large social community on the internet who believe that Personal Computers (PCs for short) are far superior than anything and anyone else. They tend to target people who play on consoles, calling them “filthy console peasants, and start ranting on how much better they are. They are narcissistic and overly self-praising people who think that their opinion is fact and constantly push other’s away by being mean.
Just some guy: “Guess what? i just got the new PS5!”
PC Master Race person: “EWW NO FILTH WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SPEND A CENT ON THAT TRASH CONSOLE GARBAGE. PC IS SO MUCH BETTER WITH ALL THE GRAPHICS AND FRAMERATES AND STUFF. YOU’LL NEVER ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING IN LIFE YOU NASTY PEASANT.”
Just some guy: :(

PC master race or (PCMR) is a community of PC gamers that was founded in 2011 on reddit mainly as a joke. The words” PC Master race” refers to the PC gamers as being superior to console gamers. But the PC Master race has grown into a large community of tech enthusiast whose main interest lies in PCs. The post on PCMR mainly consists of threads about tech related to PC gaming, memes and jokes, pictures of their awesome gaming rig, discussions about hardware and tech support. A misconception many console gamers have about the PC master race is that PCMR think themselves as being above console gamers or thinking that consoles are bad.
person 1: hey my PC is bluescreening after i start up a game, can you help me?
person 2: i don't really have time today. why don't you try posting on PC Master race and see if they can help you out.
person 1: yeah sure i'll ask the people over at the subreddit.

The complete idiots of the gaming world. If you thought console fanboys were bad, think again. Though not all of them are bad, the majority are.
Person 1: Sweet! I got a Super Nintendo!
