Not much, just an Intel Core i5, 8GB ram, Intel HD 5500 graphics, 500gb hard drive. I don't need a super build, since pretty much every game I play is from 2000-2005. It would be nice to have decent specs just for better multitasking, smoother screen recording ability and for those few games I play that require more power.

How much would a build like this cost?

Sounds like you would like an I7 CPU and an SSD. A fresh build with that, and integrated graphics, could cost around $800.

Pretty much, I'm hearing that people want to have a supercomputer in their house.

That's a very powerful OS right there, but your gonna have to monitor it 24/7 because, if a virus like CIH2 come into it, that's like $2k-$10k- dollars wasted.

Man, these days… people have expensive taste… This is just a perfect build, a simple Mac OS X, with the ability to run a windows copy separately… 8GB of RAM, and a good CPU, and was made somewhere in 2011 or 2013, for like, what… $350? Why do people spend $800 on a computer for lots of gaming at beautiful graphics???

Back in the days of 2000-2001, there were games that would run 500 FPS on 2011's computers… and to get that insane speed, it'd need only 4GB of RAM! You don't need a 1TB RAM! It's rather odd to run an older game with extra RAM. This computer can run CS, Terraria, GIMP, Steam, Firefox, and IE all at the SAME TIME!

Arduinos are not computers, they are for blinking leds on and of, and making robots and that kind of stuff. Pis will not be a very good computer, unless all you do is browse the web(no flash so no scratch 2)and make random programs in python, c(#, +.++)and java, and use libreoffice.

What about 30 pis

People have done that, but you still cannot run normal programs, you cannot even run normal pi programs. I would just get a intel nuc and make that steampunky

You forgot 128 gbs of DDR4, it is possible, I think the titan Z is faster, mtn dew does not work well for liquid cooling, and Doritos do not work well as a Ethernet card. You also forgot corsair rgb stuff, and a 20 ssd raid array, but other than that, sounds pretty fast.

I'm only joking about the MTN DEW and Doritos XD
Titan Z is a bit of a older version of a Titan X.

Oh, your saying my mac costed $400, that was the price cheapest in 2014-2015! This Mac computer was bought in 2011-2012, so it costed like, $325-$350.

The extra $400-$450 was because of replacement for the keyboard, earbuds, a 3TB drive, the windows copy: My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Firefox 40.0, Flash 18.0 (release 0), a CD player, and finally, a backup program (for the Mac side.)

I find it funny and rude how people say that my main Mac system costed $500. _-_

I found it funny but somehow Scratch has a lot of Quotes… XD

Also, I can run Trove at HQ with it running at 60FPS (According to Steam's FPS counter), so your computer is just as good as my computer.

Reference pl0x.

Computers only last as long as you treat them well. It really does not depend on whether it is a Mac or not. Under the hood Macs use the same hardware as a PC, hence why you can Hackintosh.

Xander is actually correct here - in 99% of modern computers you can purchase a new BIOS chip.
A point I'll make about Linux here is security. OSS software is generally easier to investigate in terms of source code, as it's publicly available. For all we know in OS X and Windows there could be a load of vulnerabilities nobody is aware of yet. Also gonna back up the other thing mentioned here, OS X does have viruses now.

It's reasons like this that I keep images of OS's preconfigured and run automation software. It's too painful to waste hours a day redeploying a new operating system because a sibling has installed a virus for example.

Well, one, inflation, so it is probably like the same price.

Funny how I never gave how many fps I get…. And trove is not minecraft, just someone who crammed minecraft, pixelmon, and a rpg in one.

My computer does run it on 50FPS normally, which still is pretty fast.

Anyway, what do you guys mean that it's easy to make a virus for a Mac?


Apple updates it software programming every time some hacker leaks the system and creates a virus for it.


And Microsoft, they may drop out of support on the windows 7 OS soon. They have made windows 10, so I guess I'm waiting for Windows 7 to lose support, but it also is on the lines for service pack 1, because if that's not for Windows 10 yet, I'm not upgrading.

Windows 10 is a free upgrade from 7,8, or 8.1.
Closed source software is insecure, upgrades are slower, I easily get 5 updates per day for different software (like the super insecure flash) People make viruses for mac and windows because they are they most popular, linux users are also more educated on advanced topics like how to prevent getting viruses. Most people do not even have antivirus on mac.

Ah-huh. And so does every other common OS developer.

There are reasons Microsoft has a product lifecycle. The lifecycle fact sheet explains this. Note that Windows 7 has already left mainstream support and is now on extended support.

In addition your viewpoint at the moment is “If a PC isn't capable of meeting the demands get a Mac.” - which is an awful way to look at things.

I want a nicer looking case, one of the best PSUs, and I gotta upgrade my H81 motherboard (especially since I have a Haswell Refresh CPU, so reboot don't work). I was considering going Skylake, but I'm going to wait a year for Cannonlake and 10nm.

Instead of upgrading the mobo that mutch, upgrade your cpu to a i5 4670k (I think thats what it is xD) and your mobo to a lower end one

If I upgrade anything, I am going from a uATX mobo to ATX so I can get two graphics cards. And gigabit.(once I upgrade the switch, and get a 20ft cat6) lol I have my computer like 20feet from the Ethernet port, I have a 100mbs switch hooked up to two computers that comes from like 3 different cat 5/5e cables connected via couplers to a gigabit 24 port switch (don't ask got it really cheap) (and a new router hopefully)
