Then we're back to the kicker in any argument like this -- you paying for the features you want. Obviously you don't value that aspect of the Mac that is superior to your system, especially with a low-resolution (less than 1/3 the pixels), fluorescent-backlit Vizio monitor. You can't make any absolute statement that the Mac is over-priced, only that you don't want to pay for the features it has.
BTW, your movies will be a bit smaller on the Mac's monitor, but they'll look a LOT better. A TV your size with the Mac's picture quality (but still not quite the resolution) would run you well over $1,000.
Don’t get me started...who in their right mind specs out a system with a 27 inch ips monitor and runs it with a laughable 4850?
I didn’t say the Mac was over priced. That’s you talkin. The question was show me a system for the same price with similar specs and I’ll eat my mouse. I answered. You wanna argue, I suggest you read my specs over again.
My processor, if you could buy it, would cost you well over $1000. It cost me $250. My memory bandwidth is far greater. How’s that crossfire working out for you? Obviously you don’t value that aspect of my system that is superior.
