The iMac 27" is a good value and all you need to do is buy one and press the on button. So if you're into a super
simple easy solution go for it. If you want to save some $ like to upgrade and tinker with your system the
Customac is a great choice in that situation. I don't do any gaming on a Mac or Customac so I can't help you
answer that question. Either way has it's pluses and minuses. I'm also pretty sure you know about running
Win7 or 8 in bootcamp if you want to game on a 27" iMac.

Any thoughts on building a cheap hack first just to get your feet wet? By just spending a small amount of money on a new processor and motherboard and adding a sprinkling of used parts you can get a hack up and running and decide if it's the way to go or not. If it turns out to be a hassle you can make a windows machine out of it and give or sell it to someone else without much of a loss. Or maybe you could even make a small amount.
