Hey

I am about to get an iMac from the apple store and am unsure on what to customize on my machine. I won't be upgrading ram since I will be doing that myself. Just some key questions

Should I get the 2.8ghz i7 processor or stick with the 2.7ghz i5 (is the difference that noticeable. ?

Should I upgrade to 2tb of hard drive or stick with the 1tb and invest in an external hard drive (space primarily needed for music & videos) and possibly ssd at a later time.

I will be using the iMac for predominately uni work (standard office processing), music and media and some occasional photoshop.

I currently run a crappy Asus laptop which geek benched round the 3500 mark

Since I am a pc user switching to Mac, any recommendations would be helpful :)
