Hi,
I am considering buying the following iMac 5K (2017). I wondered if it was okay, or if there's anything I should be aware about either decreasing or increasing in terms of specs?
Hardware
The majority of the time it will just be for standard computer use, but I do have a view to playing the occasional game, nothing fancy maybe CS:S or CS:GO, those sorts of multiplayer games. I may also want to run a virtual machine on it. I would also want to be able to smoothly run Pixelmator, with a view to possibly expanding to Affinity Photo and Final Cut Pro X, but just as a hobby.
