To max out the RAM to 32GB, you're going to have to replace the existing sticks and purchase 4x8GB DDR3 1600MHz of RAM sticks.
 
Sorry I can't help, just my new and very first imac comes today, can't wait, is that a delivery van I hear, no not yet

Sorry about stealing the thread just excited, like a child at Christmas

Another option is you could buy a 16gb kit and add them to the existing 8gb and run 24gb and see how that works out for you. Unless your mind is set on maxing out the ram.
 
Hopefully I'm not stepping on anyones toes here...

Is the hard drive in the 27" iMac easily upgraded as well? Debating ordering the 3TB fusion drive or possibly sourcing my own HDD upgrade.

The 2012/13 iMac's are rather difficult to open up and swap out the HDD, depends on your comfort level I guess. You can check out ifixit guide to get an idea of what is involved. Also this will void your warranty.
 
Thanks thats the memory i've seen and decided to go with ill sell the other ram the system comes with if anyone is interested when it comes lol.
