build ur own pc and source cheap used parts from rich EU fags

you can build a $1500 PC for $500 with parts that are basically brand new

This. Are you insane?

>you can build a $1500 PC for $500 with parts that are basically brand new
Sup Forums fantasy

You can build a pretty comfy build for $500.

I know, I know. Just looking for something between the two.
My reasons for this are quite stupid but it is what it is

Also, would go for the Mac 100% but I'm wondering about the chances that it will break 2 weeks after I buy it or something

499 dollar build, any game should run just fine on it

edit: changed the 240gb ssd for an 1tb hdd

The chromebook then switch to Linux

THIS THING

T/W520 if you want a laptop
Build desktop if you want one, wait for Ryzen to land

>Living in the shittier parts of the EU
Same here, where are you located?

Hackintosh!!

upgrade your MacPro.!

you can get fx chipsets for nothing because they are garbage
you are better off trying to pickup a used i3 and a mid level gpu

Xiaomi Air 12

>8Go RAM
>Intel Pentium G

Switch the 1050 for a 770 and take an i3 - i5.

>Hackintosh!!
Not just an unreliable and unpredictable source of frustration, but a lifetime hobby!
Barely better than Linux.

I built this pc for 440$ in a shitty middle eastern country

Nigga, it works fucking great. I develop apps on one. Have been Hackintoshing for 3 years.

Anyway, stfu about things you know nothing about.

OUT

G4560 + MSI B250M + RX 480 4Gb + 8Gb DDR4-2400 + case/psu/whatever

NO U!
stay mad fucking pleb. I bet you don't even work for a living.

Solid build, user.

pretty much haven't worked for years, in my mid 20s and living in my parent's old cottage from the money my grandad left me, probably gonna last another few years even if I keep buying useless shit

Romania

yep. I figured you out quickly. you're a failure at life boi.

thanks, probably going to go back to the military sometime, already have a few years of service behind me and a nice rank developers here could only dream about, I mean that's what failures do, get ripped and fuck bitches

that sounded wrong, more like, pussy ass developers like you*

there

it will work. I have an old Powermac G5. I put in some extra sticks of Ram and had to upgrade the Graphic card with one that is compatible which is hard to find.


If you don't upgrade the parts in it don't upgrade the OS. it will make it run like shit

It annoys me how hard it is to find a list of graphics cards compatible with Mac pros. You'd think someone would care enough about this. At some point all Nvidia were compatible before some new architecture (forgot which one)

Flash them you dip

>2010 Mac pro
why the fuck would you spend 500$ on a 7 year old laptop ??

500? MBP 2012 is like 400 max.

Mac pro is not MacBook pro. Google it. Plus Apple shit is more expensive here for some fucking reason. I think customs.

what said laptop

London

figures

this is moronic, SSD is the single biggest upgrade you can give a machine. HDD would cripple even a high end machine.
