PC ALL THE WAY! So much better, with 1200 euro's you can build a kick butt gaming PC, plus because you are running Windows, you can play all games! Just get a PC, if you want help with the parts you can message me or talk to the other lovely people on this forum.

Which is better??

Should I get a Mac or a gaming PC with about 1200 euro??
I know that iMacs are really fast because of the materials used to built them but I can upgrade a PC when I need too.

The materials in a mac are the same as a PC...Intel CPU's, Foxconn motherboards, AMD or nVidia GPU (depends which they are currently using). I really don't know where people get this faster stuff.

Price/Performance, a mac doesn't stand a chance against a PC, hands down. You pay a Huge premium to get that apple logo and OSX. The upgrade issues on a mac come from the fact that they only support certain hardware, instead of open for everything on the market.

Best way to see this is to spec out a mac on the apple site, then go to PCPartpicker and spec out the same hardware, the price difference(aka apple tax) will shock you.

exactly. OSX isn't worth it IMO, many programs don't even run on OSX and it's way more expensive and very weak when compared to non apple hardware

If you are wanting to game, PC all the way.
Other than that, it is your decision if you Windows or OSX
