And when some SW you use don't have some functionality, you have plenty of others to choose from.
And PC SW is much more tested as most people worldwide working on computers have PC and Apple is just fashion accessory for insecure kids.
Imagine MS Word on your Mac, you buy new printer and all of sudden you have no print preview.
Also, building own PC is quite satisfying.
Get ASUS/Gigabyte mobo, Kingston rams, Intel i7, Intel SSD, Seagate HDD, SB as sound card, nVidia GPU on ASUS/Gigabyte board and the Windows 7 will run perfectly.
I don't shutdown computer, I put it in sleep and my Windows 7 easily runs for 3 months in row without having to restart.

Building anythign yourself is quite satisfying, no doubt about it, sometimes however you just need it to work and don't have the time to put the thing together.
Thanks for the input on specs, i'm looking at Nvidia Quadro M5000 and a few other bits you've listed. A mate is going to research and build for me as I don't have the time.

i feel like they'd compare with the k series half decent.
i read it has 0 issues with playback but with filters, starts to choke up a bit

That is the problem, soon as it chokes up, you want to punch your screen. I'd rather pay more and not have that sort of issue at all. So frustrating.
