Hi this is my first post so go easy please : )

I have a mid 2011 iMac 21.5 with the i5 with the 6750m gpu.

My problem lies with are the GPU / CPU upgrade's worth doing I use it for light gaming arma 3 and a bit of eveonline.

I would love to find out some links and specs on upgrade's or just a general point in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance
 
If you can find one, you can upgrade the CPU to a 2600s. You can upgrade the MXM graphics card too, this topic has some people who've done it with varying amounts of success.

I have the exact same model iMac and the way I increase my gaming performance on Bootamp is by using MSI Afterburner to bring up my graphics card performance. This let's me achieve 6770M performance with no real cost.
