Right Now I'm in the market to replace my 09 MBP with the new 27" iMac. What's the difference between the 1799 one and the 1999 one. As well for the processor and graphics in term of performance. I'll upgrade the RAM myself.

I'm going to graduate from Graphic Design soon and need this one to last a good 3-4 years if not better like my 09 MPB which is still working fine, just the performance is lacking for CS6. I need the iMac to last well into the 7th,8th,9th and possibly the 10th iteration of CS which seem to be more GPU intensive than before.

My typical usage include opening CS6 software (Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator) simultaneous and surfing the web where I typically run about 10-15 tabs. Sometime I'll run various software such a Autodesk SketchBook Pro, Casual game, Office at once.
