Having been a Mac user for a long time so I am having trouble deciding which rig will suit me best.
I use my machines mainly for development - but as most work for next 12-18 months is in Xamarin and Unity 3D I can use a PC instead of a Mac - and I can't justify a Mac pro price tag !
Looking to spend around the £1800 mark.
I am having trouble narrowing down choice as I have no clue as to figuring out what the performance difference is for them!! - note : I am choose Asus motherboards as I have already sourced some Thunderbolt EXII cards so I can use my Apple monitors.
I also have spare Win 8.1 Pro licence so don't need that and I have keyboard/mouse.
Any help telling me which is best/fastest/most future proof appreciated.
