New Build - from Mac to PC, gaming and mild content creation.

New build, I posted last week, but now I've settled on items, price is under budget, from local vendor (umart).

 

My only question now is; Is any of the items I've listed duds? not so much "hey you should just get 2666Mhz ram" etc.

 

but more "Don't touch that M.2 drive, they are lemons" type of advice

Looks fine to me. 

 

Btw what media suite are you going to be using for your media creation? Also outside of gaming, was there anything else that made you want to switch to this PC?

good questions, I haven't really thought too much about content creation, but I'd like to have the ability in the future.  As for the change from Mac to PC, I currently console game, I want to make switch to PC gaming, and I'm a little tired of mac.......I get it, kind of arbitrary reasons.  I'm not anti-mac, I still run an iphone X, apple watch, macbook air for university.

The unfortunate reality about content creation on the PC is the lack of options with reasonable pricing. Adobe has "the best" programs but also has the worst pricing. Requiring subscription packages with a monthly bill. 

 

If you are ok with that then there shouldn't be any issues though.

 

One thing macOS will keep having over Windows 10 is quality creation apps. FinalCut>>Premiere, lol. 

 

Hope you like your new rig tho, way better than mine xD
