Yo, given your price-range, I can look into a few things for you. GImme an hour or two

35. I was quoting Star from "everyday struggle" with that shyt.
"a man of a certain age" doesn't have a computer that looks like a spaceshipYo. my Alienware is murdering everything
But, for real, they make good PCs and have great warranties. "A man of a certain age" (/star) doesn't build shyt anymore. We just buy prebuild shyt like it's nothing
Yeah I've actually seen a few comparison videos of the imac pro vs the imac and with final cut pro the difference definitely does not warrant the additional cost.
What I'm impressed with is how well optimized Final Cut Pro is on the mac. I've seen much older machines run 4K editing just fine. It's not as snappy as the more recent macs, but it's definitely workable. I was reading a blog some guy did where he built a hackintosh and had a 1080 ti. He claims (and I say claims because I found it hard to believe) that while using the 1080ti final cut pro worked slower than when he used a Radeon Pro 580 via external gpu. I don't know if that is true, but I've definitely seen tons of info from different sources stating that the optimization for macs makes it so that you don't necessarily need the best GPU's out there. Might be apple stans talking crap though.

I had a friend over to play games, and he thought my Area 51 was a fukking space heater (it does look like that though).
Oh ok
I appreciate that.
Don't go nuts looking for info though unless you're absolutely bored.
I'm flip floppin like crazy on this decision and I'm not sure hard data is going to be my final deciding factor.
Yeah, he's bullshytting. You should never, under any circumstances, make a hackintosh with a 1080ti. shyt is beyond stupid. DOn't do that. Hackintoshes are bullshyt (I made one for myself in Chi). Nah, don't do that
You're at a 3.5K budget? I'm bored as hell (slow work day). I'll get you the best shyt for that price. I'll be using cyberpower pc though (they're the most diverse). Gimme a bitI appreciate that.

Supposedly he built it with a 1080 ti for the windows build but used the Radeon as an external to test final cut.
Either way I agree with you. I was skeptical about his particular story, but from what I've read, I believe there's some credibility to the claims of how well Apple has their programs optimized for their hardware.
Imma bout to get into some heavy research on your ideal "video editing" shyt. My main question is, do you care about gaming, or not? If not, the nvidia quadro cards are the best of the best.. THey suck at gaming, but are godly with content creation. It all depends on if you wanna game on this shyt or not. If not, you get the quadro cards
Don't spend too much time on it breh for real. I don't want you to come up with the monster build and I end up getting the imac anyway. If we're just looking up stuff out of curiosity I would say right now I'm not looking at gaming on PC at all.
I wouldn't mind booting up Diablo 3, Star Craft 2, and a few others every now and then, but I definitely don't believe I would ever focus on PC gaming at this point.
I wouldn't care about hitting 4K 300 fps and all that
(at least not in the foreseeable future)
I'd get the "high end" video editing pc
