with the new mac mini I CAN play any of the windows. Look it up.
Wrong. Mac can not run .exe's without a secondary program, which slows down most games to the point where they are unplayable.

Lol. Macs cost upper hundreds, low thousands. You can get a $250 PC that'll suit you fine. Also, Windows is better at Mac in the software department. Meaning ALL software. Not just games.

I need something reliable for school but I'd like to be able to play some good games.

And you want a Mac. >.>
Seriously dude. Windows cost less and do more. Especially for what you want.
Mac = Hollister.
Windows = Pack of twenty t-shirts for 5 bucks.
Linux = Sewing kit.
