Hello
I'm thinking of buying an iMac 27'' (2017).
The main reasing will be for gaming (World of warcraft/Final fantasy XIV online/Overwatch/...)
But i'm not sure wich one i should buy, to be sure i can play with nice fps.
The iMac Pro is a bit to expensive, i have arround 3K to spend on it.
Wich one would you guys recommend and wich specs would you take?
Thanks in advance !

FWIW, Macs are not ideal for gaming. The issue is not Apple hardware in particular but some games are not optimized to run on macOS. I believe WoW is one such game. I own six Macs but I would not buy one for gaming unless I wanted to only run games designed for the Mac.
Hello
Thank you for your response.
So even if they sell the game for Mac (like WoW and FfXiv), it stil can be it won't work that great?
Because I don't have any idea about the graphics card (radeon pro 580) What kind of card it is. I've only workid with Nvidea cards. Do you have any idea with which card i could compare with it. To have an idea what kind of power the card has in the iMac? I've found several things only, but not exact answers.
Thanks !
You're welcome. "work that great" is relative. From what I've seen some "gamers" want extreme fps numbers as in over 60fps. The games will certainly be playable, whether they "work that great" depends. Games written to take advantage of Metal are another story and work extremely well. The issue is not specific video cards but whether the game was optimized for OpenGL or Metal.
