Resolved Refurbished rMBP 2013 or Build my own computer


my main computer right late 2009 macbook die day now. should buy refurbished late 2013 retina macbook pro 13 inch, or build own computer , install mac os 10 on it? want rmbp because it's portable , can use @ school (it's 1 of ipad schools, allow use macbooks too). want build own computer because it's cheaper , it's more powerful. anyways, on these computers:
  • make iphone , ipad apps xcode
  • use unreal engine 4 work on video game
  • do school work pages , keynote
  • light gaming, garry's mod , minecraft (i don't care video games, unless i'm making one)
  • web design dreamweaver
  • photoshop
  • some light video editing in adobe premiere
so budget around $1200, think should rmbp or build own computer? have build own computer already, didn't want deal hackintosh problems , want portability can use @ school.

i'm kind of stuck here, guys think should do?
 

for needs, refurb late-2013 13" rmbp should fine. if can find baseline late-2013 15" refurb, that'd better.

installing os x in hackintosh more trouble it's worth, because of unreliable drivers , having broken in updates.
