Gaming/editing pc

I'm looking for a computer that can do low to medium leval gaming but high loading of editing.

My budget for this is $2100 give or take $100 that being in Australian a good website to look up parts is msy technology but if you can find something better you can do that.

Also wondering if it would be worth dual booting windows and Mac OS X on SSD's or going with Mac alone.

Thanks

I live in nsw and have msy technology less than 10 mins away from me

Alright well you should edit it to say, "buying parts from msy"

 

I don't know much about Mac compatibility (other then gigabyte boards) so ill leave it to someone else haha. You should be able to dual boot as well.

No you just have it set up as dual boot, its just that you can only have certain parts (not really limited to be honest), but it's not hard to look that up.

Dude... use PC Case Gear. Their service is amazing and prices are really competitive. The advantage they have over MSY is the service. MSY is a real bitch to deal with...

Let's not forget that NCIX canada ships internationally. I remember Linus making a big deal of that not too long ago.

Very bad idea for people in Australia. PCCG is fantastic, there is literally no reason not to use them.

 

International shipping is expensive and warranty and service will be a huge pain.

What type of editing? What software?

 

Do you really need a hackintosh?

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
