I want the new 27 inch Imac. Its incredible but I may not need it. I need a Mac for editing photos and videos (Imovie) and I love OSX.
I own a gaming Pc with I7 4.6 ghz OC, GTX580, 840 Pro SSD, 8GB mem. 26 inch monitor but it kinda sucks (Samsung T260HD)
Option 1. Keep the gaming PC and buy a Mac Mini. Use the Mac mini for everything except gaming and us my PC for that. This would be cheaper but not so much if I upgrade my sup par monitor. Price around $1700 for mini and monitor.
Option 2: Try to sell a very difficult item to sell. I have had my PC on Craigslist minus the SSD for 3 weeks! If it sells, BUY a awesome IMAC I7 680mx and upgrade the ram myself. Price minus the sale: $1300 but the tower may not sell which would mean $2400 with edu discount
Option 3: Continue to try to understand the wild world of Hackintosh where some of my hardware might not work and reading about it for two days has not given me much confidence. The people on the forum do not reply.
What should I do guys? I would like to save money obviously but I am tired of not owning a mac.
