So my poor little computer is in great need of upgrade! My upgrade budget is $3000. My main two options I'm considering for my budget range are:
Mac Pro: 3.2GHz Quad | 5870 | 3GB RAM | 7200 HDD
Hack Pro: 3.33Ghz Hex i7 | GTX 580 | 16GB RAM | 256GB SSD
Usage: I do editing and composting with FCP and After Effects on OS X so CPU power is very important. I also do a lot of serious gaming under Windows 7 so GPU power is likewise very important.
Do you think it is worth paying the Apple tax for a real Mac or would the better value be worth going the Hack route? (I run a hack mac so I'm already familiar with that process for what it's worth)
Anyway, what are your opinions?
