Hello,

I have a Mid-2011 iMac 21.5 inch. It's starting to show it's age a bit as a primary desktop and I am beginning to get into PC gaming. The machine still runs fine for light tasks and the screen is very nice, but my desk only has room for two monitors (the iMac being one). Would it be possible for me to (once my gaming PC is built) use the iMac as a monitor for the gaming PC along with my other monitor? This way I would use the iMac itself when I needed to use MacOS for things like iMessage but I could then switch the input to my gaming PC and use that for more intensive tasks?
