Hi, folks. My HP p6320y has done it's job but the time has come to step things up and get a proper post production machine.
Now I am in no way interested, whatsoever, to spark a Mac vs. PC debate. However, I am also not ruling out Macs but must say I have a considerable investment in PC based software - Sony Vegas Pro, DVD Architect Pro, HitFilm Ulitmate and other PC based software - that I like and if it can run all that stuff on a Mac then so be it, I am not married to either platform! If a Mac turns out to be both cost effective and gives me the boost I so sorely need then I am all about it. (Did I stress that I need GPUs and CUDAs - whatever the heck they are)
Anywhooodle, my question to the floor is - buy or build? Budget? I plan on spending $2K and can push it to $2.5K, if the value is there for the money? And much more than that, what are people on IT using these days? This is all part of my research because I am close to pulling the trigger on a new machine that should hold me over for at least the next 3 years.
Thanks in advance for your reads, help and responses, folks.
Sam
