Come at me.
 
PCMR argues its superiority for the wrong reasons, and why console plebs find PCMR to be irritating and foolish. Argue with me, if you'd like, but I feel like a lot of the arguments are not actually as solid as people would like to think. The ignorance of the PCMasterRace matches the ignorance they claim these console plebs have.
 
Somebody build me a $350 computer, with decent peripherals included, that can run all games on decent settings (ranging from 720-1080p), with a TDP of 100w, and is easy to set up. It also can't be based on Black Friday sales, used components, or old parts you "found throughout the house," because an Xbox One isn't based on any of those.
 
Come at me.
 
1) PC gaming is cheaper.
A: Dependent. What if, as I have now, I buy an Xbox One for $350, and get Destiny, Halo MCC, and Halo 5. I bought Destiny on sale for $30, with Xbox Live for $30, so that's a grand total of $530, and that's all I want. Now, to get a decent gaming computer to play all current games, I'm looking at a minimum of an i5-4440 and GTX 750 Ti, which could last awhile, but cost $500-600 depending on what else you buy on the PC (I've built 750 Ti & Pentium G3258 PCs for $500 with all the bling). Now include peripherals, then games, aaaaaannddd... The Xbox One was cheaper. Oh, well, that shouldn't happen, or be true, but it is. Also, people still buy games on release for PC at the full $60.
 
You can argue a G3258 is enough, but I disagree, since Far Cry 4 can't accommodate for Dual Cores, but the Xbox One can play FC4 fine.
 
2) Building a PC isn't hard.
A: It's not hard, but can be frustrating if you do something wrong. I can't say that "building a PC is hard" is a very effective argument, but I can easily argue, "I plugged in my Xbox, updated, and was ready to play." It was extremely easy, and still cheaper. Building a PC isn't hard, but setting up a console is even easier.
 
3) You have to deal with a cruddy community and little kids on a console.
A: I've met some really cool people on Destiny, and some really stupid kids on TF2. It's hard to summarize a community like that.
 
4) You can play with friends online.
A: It's 50x easier and cheaper to play with four friends in local multiplayer than setting up four laptops and computers for one game at one place.
 
5) You have to buy an entirely new console when Microsoft releases one.
A: And you have to upgrade a PC with the new consoles to match the new demands these new games might have. Ubisoft is a bad example, but a GTX 780 in the recommended specs for Watch_Dogs? That's probably just poor optimization, but I don't think PC will be getting the same great optimization that consoles have. There is also development on the Xbox 360 going on still, so you can easily wait for the next console to go down a little cheaper.
 
What do I think PCMR has? Obviously, a mouse and keyboard is undeniably the easier and better way to play. Not always comfortable for a couch or in local multiplayer, but the better way to play for a single gamer at a desk. Higher resolutions and better graphics is a major bonus for PC gaming. I'll argue with console plebs when one says the other is better, you're not buying the console for graphics, you're buying it for the exclusives, features, and controller. PC has the superior everything else. Modding support and better indie support, not to mention the constant F2P and reliance on digital media instead of physical discs (I prefer digital, but my internet is so bad). PC is, when you can afford it, the superior way to play games, but consoles are still great and serve a good purpose. At the price point they're being sold at, it's perfectly fine.
 
I like having a super PC, but the total and utter disrespect for consoles on here is ridiculous. They serve a purpose and they serve it well, I'm glad I own an Xbox One because of the games like Destiny and MCC. I have a minimum of 120 hours invested in Destiny already, but not so much on my PC for the past few months.
 
I'm also waiting for FC4 to go on sale for PC. I'd much rather have it on PC than console.

So I just thought... How does Stephen Hawking poop?

Well C and C++ is harder than the things I mentioned. What "working" ability? Like when you code it just works? LOL.
Catman did the front page right? and Mr. Wizard is the forum/server host guy/legend..

hwmonitor from cpuid has a history of displaying wrong results/info.

There will come a time again when we need to ask for donations in hopes of being able to buy awesome stuff to review instead of getting the same samples everyone else gets but it is not this day! and it will not be done in this way!

We appreciate your giveaway! Lets go!

Well beauty comes with a price. 

That's normal for a caring/loving mother. They're just stating their feelings and those were their opinions. Most of our mothers would never understand why most of us upgrade our hardware, buy aftermarket motorcycle parts, etc. The point is our mothers think, 'why would you buy a new cpu if you have already one and its working just fine'
well it works just fine with her EXCELS and WORDS but it doesnt on our Star Citizen. Most of everyone's mothers manage their families' budgets, so even its our money they tend to tell us what they think is good for us. my mother is like that too and I raise my voice always when answering. I feel bad now.
