In addition to that the price range for the 27” iMac with 2560x1440 display is likely elevated for this “seasoned” hardware ranging from the already stated ~$1699 to ~$1999 USD and that’s with a Core i5. If you want to upgrade to the Core i7 option it will cost you another ~$200 for a whopping total of ~$1900 to ~$2200 USD.
And still a more pleasant viewing experience.
