2. 21.5 inch iMac

What would you choose, I think I mor like going to get the Gaming PC instead of the iMac.

Answer 1

1st one for sure it looks like a good build, But u should change the Motherboard for a better cause the MB is very important part on PC builds and that one is for budget PC's and u don't need 32 GB Ram cause 16 GB and even 8 GB is enough but if u got the money u can put that 32 GB Ram on your build :) + Macs aren't good for Gaming...

Answer 2

Even though you didn't most the specs of the iMac, a PC with those specs are going to blow the roof off of anything Mac can put out.



Especially if you plan on gaming, most modern HD games are not Mac compatible.

Answer 3

Go with the PC, it will be better for gaming, as macs are not built for gaming at all, and also as computers are becoming more and more advanced, the mac will become outdated soon, whereas you can just upgrade parts in the PC. So definitely the PC.

Answer 4

your custom build has one problem the HD 7970 is for mulitple monitors and not gaming, i would go with a HD 6990 or a gtx 690 which are the best of the best cards. and DONT BUY A MAC FOR GAMING!

Answer 5

The gaming pc, a mac you can't game on, neither can you upgrade it, its probably not as fast, less customize-able.



hope i helped :).
