Now that miners destroyed PC building, why aren't you getting pic related?

Fuck off Apple shill. Already got one, and it's comfy

just die

no u

>PC gaming """destroyed""""
>Why not invest in a desktop tablet?

Fucking apple fags.

>desktop tablet
>RX580

Because its three grand for a machine with virtually no upgradeability whatsoever.

>he isn't capable of teardown his computers
You don't belong here.

I don’t know who’s shilling who anymore and it’s retarded.

everything is upgradeable except the gpu

I already have one. Most enjoyable to use computer I've ever owned.

I also own an i5 GTX 1080 VR gaming rig.

You'd have to quadruple the specs on macshit on account for the overheating and throttling to match a PC.

what about the screen?

>Macs have incredible resale value
>Wait until next refresh happens
>Sell old mac for 70% of what you paid for it
>Only have to pay about $500 dollars difference and you get a brand new computer

I don't get what the problem is. GPU's alone are over $500 these days. Who cares about upgrading individual parts when you can upgrade the entire computer for the same price.

>mactoddler poorfags are so fucking poor they have to perpetually rent their soyintosh fruit toys

Apple is gay.

Because it constantly overheats and thermal throttles.

>"As soon as we started the test on the iMac, the CPU clock rate fell to 3 GHz"
>"The sensors recorded CPU temperatures of almost 100 °C (212 °F)"
lmao, FUCK THAT

/thread

Haven't been here for a while but i really appreciate that you've added 'soyintosh' to your repertoire, it was starting to get a bit stale.

not an argument and user is right, renting is literally the definition of poverty

Do you also buy smart cars and complain they can't handle 200km/h?

How are cars related to iGay products?

No one buys an iMac to do resource intensive tasks you mong. Maybe if you were talking about the Mac Pro you'd have a point, but no one defends that literal trash can.

Who said it was an argument?

>No one buys an iMac to do resource intensive tasks
>YOU"RE USING IT WRONG REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>t. mactoddler

>No one buys an iMac to do resource intensive tasks you mong.
We know. They're mainly used to browse gay porn.

>Maybe if you were talking about the Mac Pro you'd have a point, but no one defends that literal trash can.
Look m8 OP said why people aren't getting gay computers now that mining has made getting real ones financially unfeasable. I just stipulated that such actions are not done because they constantly overheat and thermal throttle.

How was anything I said wrong?

Soy you're here to defend the soyim, goyim?

Just werks

>specs are the only reason people buy computers
See, typical pa/g/eet who literally cannot fathom that people use computers for anything but crypto mining and benchmarks. Thanks for proving my point.

>I just stipulated that such actions are not done because they constantly overheat and thermal throttle.
In a benchmark that is designed to push hardware to their limits, which the iMac clearly isn't designed for because as you just mentioned it's for everything but resource intensive tasks. Are you pretending to be retarded or can you not even follow your own logic?

Who spends 3k on a quad core i7 system to do non resource intensive tasks
>you fucking mong

A PC with an overpriced GPU is still an order of magnitude faster than a similarly priced Mac that burns your house down if you try to use it to do anything other than browse gay porn.

People with money. Don't you pa/g/eets brag about how much money you make constantly? You realize it's possible to have a gaming computer AND a daily driver, right?

No, I came back to soy you.

Look mong, OP implied iMacs to be an alternative to real computers. They're not.

If people wanted to browse gay porn why wouldn't they just use an iPad or something gayer.

>Who cares about upgrading individual parts when you can upgrade the entire computer for the same price.

I can use the same case I built with in 2009 forever. I can reuse old monitors elsewhere. I can upgrade motherboard/CPU/GPU/RAM/PSU painlessly as I wish and keep my existing SSDs while adding more sinc eI have ample room for them. I can do that in granular fashion or at once. I have choice of peripherals.

If anything malfunctions, which it hasn't because I'm not retarded, I can quickly field strip and fix what I built. Easily.

>macshit
>any year

You think soy is your ally? You merely adopted the soy. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the testosterone until I was a man and by then it was nothing but blinding.

>OP implied iMacs to be an alternative to real computers. They're not.

Considering a GTX 1080 is currently more expensive than a baseline 5k iMac, he's not far off from the truth. Especially when you consider how many threads Sup Forums makes about
>buy gaming computer
>only use it to watch anime and fap to loli doujins

90% of Sup Forums doesn't use their hardware for anything more resource intensive than video games, excluding benchmarks of course.

>If people wanted to browse gay porn why wouldn't they just use an iPad or something gayer.
Why aren't you using a tablet right now? You're on Sup Forums, thats not a very resource intensive task. Even a phone from 2011 could do it no problems. The answer for both questions is either similar or the same.

Even Sup Forumsirgins can understand these concepts. I thought Sup Forums was supposed to be high IQ.

Sorry, I meant GTX 1080ti.

Oh so we're the idiots here, fagface?

what's a computer ?
certainly not this overpriced piece of crap

The fact that you felt you needed to ask that question makes the answer self evident. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension a bit better. I wasn't even hiding the fact I think you're idiots.

I didn't even read your response to be honest, the moment you posted mongolian children's cartoons I knew you are the dumbest one in this thread. Go eat glue.

I can't wait for inch-thick gaming tablets.

...

My fee fees are hurt. Are you going to call me a faggot next? Oh right you already did that.

Either way the fact that you and the rest of Sup Forums can't fathom why anyone would buy a computer for anything other than raw specs is really telling.

>upgrading computers in 2018
>he doesn't just go all out every 3-5 years on a totally new computer

You're an idiot, a gaymur, and if you're the latter you're the former anyway.

>mactoddler thinks his fruit shit $10 chinkshit GPU is anywhere near as capable as a 1080ti

You sure wrote a lot in that post billy, you should go celebrate.

Mind quoting where I implied that? Make sure quote verbatim.

cant afford one

OH SHIT

FUCKING BASTE XD PEEPEE FROG XD

God damn that's savage

>not buying rx580s that pay for themselves in 5 months (if you get them

>it's ok when apple does it

Dubs of truth

>buying anything BUT the base ram on the 5k

a-user, i-

Take advantage of the fact that this is one of the few remaining Macs with easily-accessible ram bays. Buy all the ram aftermarket.

>he isn't capable of teardown his computers
What would be the point of this when owning a mac? Aren't the motherboards, and os severely limited in what can be added, so at best you could have as much as apple lets you anyways?

The sad thing is that even gamershit like Razer doesn't go past 50C

>everything is upgradeable except for the only thing that matters

Build a better than pic related PC for $1800 Sup Forums
> pro tip: you can't

>unironically buying the fusion drive model

Yes you can, but I'm just going to make a hackintosh that works better anyways.

fuck off back to Sup Forums

...

>one PC part is overpriced at the moment better buy an entirely overpriced computer that does less

Because I 3D design, use CAD, and play games. And I lilke my computer to do what the fuck I tell it not what Apple tells me I should. Apple is a true marvel of marketing that anyone whose used itunes has ever bought anything of theirs after.

>games

It really wasn't hard to build a superior system for the same price. There's $726 left over for a monitor, and that's plenty for a 5k monitor nowadays.

I'm talking about this one: Dumb nigger

It's really hard trying to beat this mac, because it's using low end outdated hardware, but I think this overclockable build comes close. I even left some room for upgrades (ecc udimm compatible), and has enough room to overclock (this mobo will overclock that xeon to over 4ghz).
The shittier the mac the harder it is to build a comparatively shit custom setup with "new" components today. Also needless to say that these components are cheaper, and more common as used now.

It's not like you need anything higher than Raven Ridge for gaming anyway.

Dubs won't lie

>2400 DDR4

this build is actually better

Not better tbqh.

>this build is actually better
BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS MY 5K DISPLAY

Because i built a small form factor 6700 with a gtx 1080 with a 32inch 4k and 2.5tb total of ssd storage for this kind of money 18 months ago.

>6700
>gtx 1080
>32inch 4k
user...

What's a computer?

Some kinda weird iMac.

I don’t like 5k at 27 inches as the text is a little small.

>BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS MY 5K DISPLAY
BHP was selling that dell 5k for $600, iiyama has a $800 5k display, and 5k lg refurbs which is most similat to what apple uses is $699 refurbed from newegg, so shop around faggot.
>Not better tbqh.
Explain?
Also for a little bit more you can get a prebuilt from newegg for $1400, but that has an unlocked i7-7700k, 32gb ddr4, an ssd, 2tb hdd, and a gtx 1070 (and keyboard+mouse).
Currently it's hard to find something new with last years specs to do a 1:1 price comparison with that specific mac. It would be better to just build a 8700k build like in
or a ryzen build today than it is to try to build something with comparable specs to that mac.

MACTODDLERS ON SUICIDE WATCH

Nigga it was almost 2 years ago now to be fair, I also overpaid as I'm not from the US. But my 2tb ssd is still worth what I paid and so is my gtx 1080.

For the 4k. monitor 2tb samsung ssd and gtx1080 I was around 2300 in the hole. Gtx 1080 would cost me 1200 new right now, ssd 750 and monitor about a thousand.

So I did badly compared to the US but for the time I saved a fuckload, as I'm outside the US and everything is going on ebay 2nd hand for allmost what I paid new.

Anyhow I'm pretty much run most games on high settings around 50-60fps.

>Explain?
Sure!
> RX 580 > GTX 1060 (DX 12 and 8GB vs 6GB)
> Two thunderbolt 3 ports
> 5K display (you can't find those for less than $700)

I like this image

It's funny, because in real world use, that PC will perform 5X faster than the iMac.

I've considered upgrading to a 1080ti, 32gb-64gb ram, 4tb ssd and a 8700, but my rig handles VR fine right now.

Hardly worth the thousands for an extra 15-25fps at 4k 60hz.

Hoping by 2020 ssds are cheaper in higher caps, a 1080ti performance card is sub 400, 4k Vr is a thing and overclocked 8700 performance is mid range.

>Sure!
Makes zero points. I guess that you showed everyone there user.
> RX 580 > GTX 1060 (DX 12 and 8GB vs 6GB)
at what? well you could always put a rx 580 for about the same price anyways.
> Two thunderbolt 3 ports
> 5K display (you can't find those for less than $700)
But you can user if you can find them last week b&h was selling the superior dell 5k display for $600 brand new. It's a resolution that is currently hard to find (so if you really want that resolution you would probably have to get it used, or refurbished which are both available for less than $700 currently), and manufacturers are sticking to 4k, and 8k currently with iiiyama releasing a cheap 5k abortion (specs are on par with the display used in imacs).
You also feigned the fact that the e3v5 in
is an overclockable system that's ecc compatible, and that the mac system will throttle the cpu, so it would never make use of the turbo speeds.

Because a high end pc even with these prices is even cheaper than a shitty desktop tablet. Plus a PC has a better performance/price ratio
