MacBook Pro or Custom PC

[lathbrunt]

Hey guys,
I live in Australia and i was thinking i would go either a custom gaming pc or a 2015 MacBook Pro. The thing is i really want the MacBook Pro as i've been Windows all mu life and i have always like Macs, but then im just getting back into PC Gaming.

PC Specs
Noctis 450
i7 4790K
GTX 980
Maximus VII Ranger
16GB of DDR3 2133 RAM
250GB Samsung 850 SSD
2TB Barracuda
750w Power Supply
Kraken x61

altogether with accessories my PC with probably cost $2500 or $2600. i would think about getting a MacBook this expensive if i can play games, photo and video edit and use IronCad (IronCad is for my job).

Thank You Very Much and any response appreciated

Hi, i would strongly suggest getting a custom gaming PC> Windows is much, much better for gaming than MAC OS is.

Plud, with a macbook, there are very limited upgrade options but with a custom gaming pc, you have lots of future upgrade options.

Thanks for the quick response.
I know that the custom pc will perform better but i really want the MacBook Pro.
If i were to get both of them what order would you suggest?

It depends whats more important. Using it for work and portability (then get the macbook) or gaming (get custom gaming PC)

If you're using IronCad, I'm pretty sure it's not supported under OSX, so you'd have to run Windows on there anyway. I'd just recommend getting the PC, or if you're looking for portability, some kind of workstation grade/gaming laptop.
