If you buy this to play games (or rather - if game performance is where your computer needs max out), you're probably a person with enough money to not sweat a $10k computer purchase more than I mull over a fancy meal with the missus. Now, if you're a 3D artist (maybe game designer?) this looks really nice (caveat: not a 3D artist). So, designing fancy games - Mac Pro. Playing said fancy games - anything from iPhone to home-built gaming rig will be more worth it.
