Should I sell this system for an IMAC 27 loaded model or would this be a big mistake? I really like the new IMAC's. I can probably get around $2k or so for it and I would need to add some more to get it. I play games mostly with this machine, like BF3, Black Ops II, MOH Warfighter. And I had trouble playing them on my 2012 MBP i7, 16gb, 256gb ssd, 650M 512MB card as on low it couldn't do well at all. LAG badly even with 40 fps.
I also need to cut down on space, and heat in this room of the house, so the gaming rig has to go either way. Either I get some other small case and cut down on the heat some how, or go IMAC which I am strongly considering. I do have a Alienware M17xR4 now that I plan to use in the interim till I sell all the parts off the big rig.
