    Hi Guys,

    Im currently a mac user but I was pondering getting a gaming pc. Im not looking for a top of the line rig, I'm primarily an xbox gamer. I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to play strategy again. The likes of Total War: Rome 2 are just too taxing on my mac.

    I guess I would use it for RTS, MMO gaming and steam purchases ( of mostly the spontaneous sale variety). Because I have the xbox one I would be playing most AAA releases on that.

    What kind of build do you think would be best? I don't want to go out and fork out money on hardware I don't need.

    Thanks!

    An i5 with a decent card is about 800-900, an i3 machine can be gotten for about €600. Really depends how much you're willing to spend.

    At that kind of money you're going to be outpacing the Xbox to be aware
