The mini and the lowest end iMac come with the Intel GMA 950 graphics processor. It is not a great processor for gaming. It is fine for most other things you would be doing including video editing with iMovie.Since you are low on funds, I'd go with a mini and keep the PC for gaming and perhaps a few applications you don't want to replace. Use the Mac for your day-to-day needs.To keep the PC 'healthy', simply do not do web browsing or e-mailing with it, and everyone should have a router between their computers and the internet. If you have to use the web browser at times, then only go to trusted sites. Oh, and also keep the setup to a minimum by not adding on a lot of optional garbage.</blockquote>
