Computer Question

[EatTaco 47]

How are PCs for work and stuff? I switched about 10 years ago to Mac and haven't really touched one since. Mac is second nature to me now. My parents are quite keen on me having a Mac so I'm trying to settle on a MacBook and then a PC desktop but then my dads like if you do that one will be obsolete. I really want a pc desktop though haha

in my opinion, windows computer better for gaming..

Prefer $2K, give or take a few hundred, but $3,000 limit if it makes that much of a difference. I don't have a monitor either as I've always used macs. I'd probably spend some more time on other games like League too if I had a computer that could handle it better. @@sjaak2

Would you want me to save or spend it all? monitor can easily be included, do you play FPS/AAA games too?

I also use a MacBook to scape SOMETIMES if i'm stuck at school, or traveling. My desktop handles gaming WAY better.

Umm could you give me a few options? I'd be fine spending up to $2K, curious how much better 3K would get me. I don't play really too much because I had a mac, i played WOW a bit but it just wasn't as fun as RS for me. Debated getting destiny 2 on pc if i got a new comp @@sjaak2 Edited December 13, 2017 by EatTaco

Mac books are overpriced pieces of shit all you are paying for is the brandname lol. Build a custom computer, with 2500-3000k to spend you will be able to build a beast computer.

Well, as a computer science student I don't reccomend mac at all. My personal 'setup' is that I have a gaming desktop which I assembled myself which I also use  for games other than runescape. For school/work I bought myself a lightweight pc which is capable of running the basic programs smoothly but don't expect any graphical/mathematical power from it. I run Linux Ubuntu on it since I find it more convenient but Windows should do fine as well. For the price of one Macbook pro you should be able to buy a desktop and and a decent laptop easily. If you want some more details of what to buy for what purpose or antything like that, feel free to contact me

How much money would I save by building it rather than buying a pre assembled? I was looking at the Origin Millenium and wondered if there was a good set up on that (I like the design) or if that was way over priced for everything. I am quite new at this haha, sorry. I really appreciate all the help though @@sjaak2
