Currently have a MacBook Pro 13 2017 should I buy iMac 27 5k 2019 or nzxt starter plus pc

[Joshmakey12]

I want to play games and video edit 

should I buy a 5k iMac 2019 with a rx 570x and have amazing video editing performance and decent gaming performance 

or keep my laptop for decent video editing performance and buy a nzxt pc starter plus pc for amazing gaming performance? 

I do not make money off video editing 

and I play games on occasions 

what should I go with

What programs do you use for editing?

 

Do you want to use osx?

 

A windows system will probably be cheaper if you don't need the 5k screen or osx.

I will be using final cut this is why I would need a Mac should I keep my laptop and buy the nzxt pc for incredible gaming performance or sell my laptop and buy a 27 iMac 5k 2019 with rx 570x

or sell my Mac and get a 21.5 4k for 100 

and get the nzxt? Pc

Do you need a laptop?

 

Id be tempted to just build/buy a pc, and keep the macbook so you have a laptop.

Do you think selling the laptop and getting a 5k iMac with great performance and good gaming and saving 500 due to selling laptop and spend 100 on cruddy laptop would be better than dropping a full 1000 on a gaming pc even since  I don’t play games a lot maybe 2 hrs a day and having better video editing  performance and a 5k display and saving 600 dollars

I really don't know how you work, and how you like to use your computer, so I can't say.

 

Why not get a imac and see if you like it, and return it if its not fast enough or you don't like it?

Alright I do that
