Budget is $800.
I was thinking something around the lines of a i5, 6970, 1tb hdd, and for accesories maybe a razer lyscosa and razer imperator.

Desktop i would reccomend building one, or Powerspec

Laptop Well, Get a Dell not a Mac.

Powerspecs are like the most affordable most powerful(for the price) out there.

But overall Building one is your best bet.

Astronomically overpriced.

Spectacular. For the same price, you could get something much, much faster than the Mac.

I would recommend a 2500k and a 560ti 448 core. I can get a specific build, if you'd like.

Derp, thought you said $1000 budget. Christoi's build below me looks great.

Well, one of the pictures just posted showed a laptop for $1000 dollars that is about as good as a mac for over $2000.

Also, if you don't like windows and don't want to pay too much for a computer, you could try linux.
Why aren't micro ATX cases called μATX?

Getting a 2500k+6950 in that build may be a bit difficult, especially once you add an OS. This should be a decent choice, but you may want to consider a Seagate 500GB drive since the Caviar Blue's appear to have risen in price recently. It's only including the computer and OS though, if he needs peripherals, you'll be looking at a $600-650 build.

Every current £800 custom build pc could wipe the floor with the mac, often macs use underpowered hardware and it is sold at a premium.
Don't give us the whole stability and no virus bullshit because none of that is true.

Windows can be just as stable.
