Hello everyone this is my first post and I hope to make this home.
I'm in the market for the new 27" iMac and my question to be is the ram upgrade able on my own? I'd much rather purchase the unit with the min.amount of ram and install my own with more ram at a cheaper price than what Apple offers.
Next is how difficult is the learning curve coming from a pc to the iMac? My main purpose of the machine is to do photo editing with photoshop and Lightroom of course use of the Internet and just typical home functions. I'm no gamer so I don't see using this for games.
What I have in mind is as follows,
iMac 27" 3.2 ghz qud core
8 gig of ram (install more if allowed on my own)
3TB fusion drive
GTX 680 video card
I'm unsure if needed so ill ask do I need pages, numbers and keynote software preinstalled?
I have 3 1 TB externals I use for backups to my photography so I don't see needing to add anything beyond storage unless my externals aren't compatible.
Thanks in advance,
James
