    My current setup that I will ordering at the end of the day (for cyber monday deals):
    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2hMdZ
    >>>Updated: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nY7qjX
    (I'll be getting a monitor, mouse, and keyboard separately)
    I want this desktop to be able to run most games today at med/high settings while also being relatively cheap (400-600).
    Any tips? Improvements? Deals? :D

    If you're a gamer and use a mac you're going to have a bad time ;)

    Why are macs so bad to game with? Every other computer I had sucks; always lagging. Whether it be microsoft, hp, acer or a hand built one they lag extremely.

    Macs are horrible for gaming, especially the keyboard and magic mouse. The keyboards are tiny, and under sensitive, the mouse doesn't have a scroll or middle click, and many keys don't work in-game. Also many programs and features aren't available for macs.

    Solution: Buy a usb keyboard
    Solution: Buy a gaming mouse
    Solution: download a Microsoft running software for Mac ( you get what I mean right? )

    So basically Macs are only good for gaming if you transform them into a Windows computer?

    Macs are better because they don't lag, you just have to get the right set-up

    Still, I would rather pay $600 for a Windows computer and deal with the lag instead of paying over $1200 for the Mac and supplies.

    My parents choose to spoil me with both these things.

    What's so funny?

    Problem: I tried all of these. I hook up the keyboard, mouse disconnects. Hook up the mouse, keyboard disconnects. But software, computer crashes. You see what I mean now?
