Hello! I've been using Macs to play games on for the past few years, as I've had parallels/boot camp or just waited for Mac port/version. How ever now I feel I would be better off investing In a Desktop PC since I would like to play more resourceful games in maxed out/ultra settings without lag, as I'm trying to use GTA V on Mac and its hell + other games I've played and they lag.

I'm not to sure on all the PC terminally or specs, and I know you can get pre built or custom made ones. I've been looking on curries PC world and have found this machine, it looks relatively okay and I was wondering if anyone would know if I could play games like GTA V maxed out settings etc?

The computer above seems highly priced from what people have recommended, my budget for this build will be £800 and I'm looking into building one however I have no idea which company or what kind of CPU, GPU and motherboard I need. I've checked the PC specialist out (I'm in the uk) and hey seem to be a popular pc custom build company, are there any others?

Thanks for reading! :)

This is not in the right subforum man. I'll have it moved.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
