an updated iMac with a 6 core and higher ram limit would b= e great. i dont see any difference in performance between the 680 and the 7= 80 on the imac, just less erros with the extra 2GB of VRAM.

OTH I am finishing a shot in 4K GH4 edited in 1080 on my ima= c i7 and its gone well. since its a 2.93gh / much faster ram bus machine it= decodes h.264 a lot more smoothly than the 2008 machine.

so a used 5.1 tower should be a consideration if you want the PC= Ie slots, and a loaded 27=E2=80=9D iMac with nV GPU could be a really nice = compact machine. I=E2=80=99m somewhat waiting for an update iMac with 6core= i7.

Would def just spend your money upgrading video cards, = ram, =C2=A0DEFINITELY replace your system drive with an SSD as well as get = an additional SSD for use as a AE disk cache=E2=80=A6 =C2=A0they are super = cheap these days

Can't stress enough how awesome the switch to an SS= D system drive was=E2=80=A6
