Best Gaming iMac?

If you want to primarily use OS X and OS X applications I would avoid the hackintosh route. You can get them to work sure but day to day usage can sometimes be tricky with software updates requiring hacking and some software (like games) not working as the graphics card does not identify itself correctly.

If you want to use Windows mostly and revert to Mac OS X for the odd thing and are willing to wait on updates and have some issues with some products then by all means Hack away.

However for a daily machine a hackintosh is far from a "it just works" solution for your average user. If you are a bit of a hardware/software hacker already then a hackintosh will be fine. It depends on what you want and what kind of user you are.

Thanks for what sounds like sage advice. I don't want to be in a situation where I'm sweating each update on every program and the OS.

This isn't typical at all, but it's still good advice.
