Need advice on the best pre-built PC for PT after my house burned down...
My house burned down 7 months ago, and it's just now ready to move back in...... I would truly appreciate some advice on the best pre-built PT-friendly pc I can buy these days.
Also, I would also consider going with a Mac that can run Windows (I heard these exist)......and I'd like to go 8-core either way. Please help me on this.......thanks so much.....-Roy

Gigabyte X79 socket 2011 is my personal favorite
I7-3930k or even the 3730k - Haswell is a bit cheaper but less under the hood 850w power supply - corsairs work nice for me 3 sata iii drives the 6gb/sec style 1 256 Samsung 840 pro SSD for the OS I've no idea about a nicer than decent video card it's a crap shoot
