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.

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.

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 ******** because none of that is true.
If your friend isn't sure about building his own PC, allow this guide to help him:
I'll be building it for him. I ain't no retard.

CyberPowerPC
It May Look For Hardcore Gamer's Buy You Can Bring Down Some Of The Specs
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.

Yup build your own, I would recommend MSI or Asus for laptops though.
I forgot about them.

Retired StaffAstronomically overpriced.
It's inevitable that this has to be posted:
because they are horrid for everything, and the OS can't run squat
$832 from newegg
you can get the CPU for $199 at NCIX which will bring it to $802
i5-4690K @4.6GHz ~ ASRock Z97X Fatal1ty Killer ~ EKWB Supremacy MX ~ Watercooled SLI STRIX 970s
Project RedShift
then your house really needs some upgrades if a laptop is faster then a desktop

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.
