Well a mac actually! Hold on, hold on, i'll be running windows on it.
Anyway apart from being told to not get a mac, would this be any good for a gaming pc. (Specifically to play Ark Survial and the Sims 4, and be good for photoshop on the mac side).
It would be a 5,1 mac pro.
Processor
3.46GHz 12 Core Xeon X5690 (2010 System) - £1,950.00
Memory
64GB (8x8GB) - £400.00
PCI-e Slot 1 / GPU
Nvidia GTX TITAN X 12GB (+ Nvidia GT120 for boot screen, requires OS X 10.10) - £995.00
PCI-e Slot 2
Angelbird wrk for Mac 256GB SSD PCI-E - £215.00
PCI-e Slot 3
Angelbird wrk for Mac 256GB SSD PCI-E - £215.00
PCI-e Slot 4
USB 3.0 4 Port PCI-E - £40.00
HDD1
Toshiba 2TB HDD 7200RPM SATA 3.5" - £75
Or is this overkill?
I can get a 3.46GHz 6 Core Xeon X5690 (2010 System) for £1,070.00
which would limit my memory to 32GB at £200
I would have an SSD each for mac and windows and then the 2TB as extra space.
Thanks for the help
