Thanks for the thread and the replies. I've been thinking about getting a Mac Pro sometime in the future and I wanted to know how it would compare to the gaming PCs performancewise. Costwise it's a no brainer but what can you do. 
The most hectic system upgrading seems to have passed with age with me and my buddies, so now it's a completely new system every few years instead of constantly changing this and that. In that perspective a nicely equipped Mac Pro should be able to hold its own on everything but price.
