hello everyone
First question what is iMac it looks like only a screen but it has a computer inside it also ?
Second question is can I play games in it like cod bf1 and so..?
Thx
 
Yes, it's a full computer.

It's a great machine but not the best if your main objective is gaming. For that purpose it would be cheaper to build a PC. If you do that you would also be able to replace the GPU when needed. You can't do that with an iMac.

If you play the occasional game and don't mind lowering the graphics a little then the iMac is a great computer. You get macOS which I personally consider to be currently the best OS available. It has a gorgeous 4k or 5k screen. The design is splendid. The 2017 have very decent GPUs and good all around performance, especially if you order one with SSD.

For games, you'll likely need to also install Windows, as many games are Windows-only. It is possible to dual boot MacOS and Windows, but you will need a Windows license. For games, you'll also want to make sure the iMac has a dedicated GPU. The base iMac uses Intel graphics, which isn't going to drive games very well. Even the iMacs with dedicated GPUs aren't going to be as powerful as a traditional desktop, which can use more powerful cards.
 
Ok so pc I think better..because I buy iPhone X I want to buy another thing from Apple hhh
