Q. This is a mid-2012 retina MacBook Pro
A 2560x1600 retina display
2.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB Flash Storage
Would this handle games like the sims 3 and various games from Steam okay?
Thanks!
Oops the graphics are a GT 650M w/ 1 GB GDDR5

A. Depends on which computer you bought....
All recent Macs will run Sims 3. That isn't a demanding game. For those big-time shooting games...
the 15" is fine (dual graphics). The 13" is not (only has integrated Intel graphics).
An Apple computer is specially designed for...
-- faster startup (EFI firmware)
-- long life (aluminum case)
-- best rendering of video in iMovie or Final Cut Pro (Firewire 800)
-- and fast copying of files to an external drive (Thunderbolt)
If none of that is important to you, buy a big tin box PC. They are cheap because they do not have any expensive hardware.

How much does it cost to build a fairly good gaming computer in 2012?
Q. I'm going to college in a few months and I'm a serious gamer looking to purchase a really good gaming rig that will last me 5+ years. I'm willing to spend a large amount, ($1500+) but primarily aiming towards getting the most bang for my buck. For example, I don't want to spend $200 for hardly any improvement. I play a variety of games and I'm looking for something reliable and powerful that I can count on to run anything. I have no brand preferences, I'm simply looking to get a solid gaming rig together with very little actual buying experience.
My primary concerns are picking the right processor(s) and graphics card(s).
There are so many to choose from and I'm not knowledgeable enough to pick the right one.
