Hey guys i'm curious to what to get for gaming and streaming. I could buy a macbook pro 15 inch or build my own pc. This is the build i would build if i went that route: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/F6Jbxr
I've always used a laptop, i never owned my own desktop pc. Are pre-built ones bad? Is it always way better to build your own?
The benefit of the macbook would of course be portability, is it worth it, or just build my own? I would use another monitor with the macbook pro for a dual display. If i built this pc build i would use a dual monitor display at 1920x1080 resolutions. What do you guys think the better buy would be? Build.. Base macbook model.. or high end macbook model?
Games i play: Runescape oldschool and RS3, Guild Wars 1 and 2, League of Legends, World of Warcraft and CS:GO.
Would the macbook or built system play all these games i play at high fps?
Is Intel Iris Pro graphics good enough to max the games i play? How much better is the nvidia GT 750m on the high end model?
