Hi

I'm ready to upgrade my 6 year old pc, I'm currently looking into building a custom pc;

i5 4690k 3.5ghz Quad Core
Gtx 760
16mb Ram
Ssd drive
Windows 7

This is the direction I'm currently heading in and its ending up around £800

I have a friend who loves his Mac's and swears by them, I must admit that in recent years I've been impressed with Apple but I can't quite get my head round comparing the two.

To get to the point, my friend has found me an old Mac pro for sale, a beast in its time.

Apple Mac Pro 2010 5,1 Model - LATEST WESTMERE

12-Core 2.93GHz Xeon (2 x 6 core 2.93 GHz processors)

Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU Graphics card with 2GB of DDR5 RAM

96 GB ECC RAM

128GB SanDisc Mercury Pro SSD

Western Digital 2TB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive

Firmtek 6G Dual Port eSATA PCIe card

Its slightly cheaper than the PC, so which one is best?

Many thanks

I agree here, depends on what the primary use is going to be. If it's gaming you definitely want a DIY PC.
