Mac comes configured thats why people prefer mac and there aren't many viruses that attack macs. Macs are perfect for the guy who is computer stupid and doesnt care to bother with researching hardware.
In my eyes would be take the same money and build 3 PCs that smoke any mac and not only are you faster but you can render 3 projects at once.
