Answer
Yeah, awesome PC but I reckon you'll need a better power supply. Maybe a 600 / 650 Watt one.

Which is generally better for gaming?

��

the PC or the Mac

Dont compare desktop to laptop

Answer
PC is much better for gaming and you get a lot more for your money with the PC

1) Mac uses a subset of PC hardware but you pay significantly more for it.

2) Mac OS X less secure than either Windows Vista or Linux. Mac OS X was hacked in 30 min., 2. min, in 2006, 2008, 10 seconds in 2009.

3) Although Mac currently does not have as many Spyware/Viruses they are on the rise.

4) Linux has more cool effects than Mac OS X and can do every effect Mac can do..

5) For graphics/video production PC is equally as good. Each company has it's preferences but Dreamworks Animation uses PCs

6) All computer manufacturers have problems but there are plenty of problems with Mac.

7) Follow the logic:
Facts...
A) XP and Linux are faster than Vista, Mac
B) OS X runs faster with more memory,
C) Vista runs faster than OS X on Mac with 2+gb http://www.gadgetell.com/tech/comment/vista-runs-faster-on-mac-pro-than-apples-os-x/

logical deduction from facts above (
- CONCLUSION: A PC with Vista 2+gb runs faster than Mac OS X with lower specs but even with higher specs since a Mac uses the same components (so if B AND C are true this is a true statement, AND A would be even faster) as a PC .., remember Linux and XP run faster than Vista..

ANOTHER OPTION: Dual boot with LINUX - You don't need to choose Windows or Linux... have both at no extra cost..

8) Apple advises people using macs to purchase Antivirus software due to the significant rise in viruses.

So any mac fan cannot claim "no need for antivirus software" for mac. Not only that, as there are really good free anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware programs for the PC such as Avira Antivir. Which means you will shelling out more even more $$$ for the Mac.
