I need your help getting the right IMac. Normally it'd be easy, but I'm looking to do some light gaming, mainly World of Warcraft. I want to be able to play this and all other Blizzard games at the highest settings.

Beyond that I'll just be using it for standard stuff. No doubt I'll be going for the 27 inch model.
 
Spring for the upgraded video card since you have gaming on your mind. Get the fusion drive if you don't go for all SSD. Since you are getting the 27", you could save a few bucks by buying the minimum ram and then adding your own.
 
I'm going for the 256 gig ssd. I like the idea of booting faster and loading apps faster. Can I settle for the 2 gig card or should I go all of the way to 4 gigs? I was going to stick with 8 gigs and upgrade in the future.

If I were you I'd get the 3.4 i5 with the 4gb video card (the two would probably be enough but if you have the money, go for it.)
