I have been eyeing a Mac Pro for a while as my iMac cannot handle 4K footage well at all. However I would only be able to afford the lowest level Mac Pro and even that is a stretch financially. I was comparing GeekBench scores of the 4-6 core Mac Pro and is seems not as powerful as the CustoMac Pro with:
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD7-TH
Core i7-4790K
EVGA GT 740 SC
Crucial Ballistix Tactical (32GB)
I was curious from your knowledge how would this build compare against the actual Mac Pros? I know the Mac Pro's were "designed for FCPX" which is what I use to edit, so how much of a difference does that make?
Is the EVGA GT 740 SC a decent video card for video editing? I was thinking of getting 2x so it would match the Mac Pro a bit more. Is there a benefit to that or is there an issue with doing that?
And lastly, I love the size of the Mac Pro, is there anyway to make a machine comparable in price but smaller than your typical tower?
Thanks!!
