My 2011 MacBook air got water damaged so I'm in the market for a new computer. Before this happened I was planning on buying a Windows gaming rig but now I'm looking more towards an iMac becuase I don't like Windows and the iMac seems to have the best graphics card and a large display. I'm interested in interface design and I use Adobe illustraitor a lot. I plan on bootcamping windows to play games and I also plan on buying the oculus rift when it hits retail. I've settled on the highest model 27" iMac with upgraded i7 processor and gtx 780m graphics card. In Canada with student pricing plus tax the price will come to $2,871.68. Is this too much money for a spec'd out iMac? Should I wait for the next generation? Should I consider the retina iMac?
Also the iMac comes standard with 1tb hdd, I want to upgrade it to a 1tb fusion drive or a 256gb ssd and I'll use an old external hard drive for more space. If I bootcamp I'll be left with very little space for each. Which solution do you think is better?
I understand I'm asking a lot but I'm mostly asking to make sure im not making any stupid mistake.
Thank you in advance to anyone that replies.
