Questions about new iMac

Hi all,

I've recently purchased an iMac at the online apple store and I have a few questions about it and I was wondering if some of you guys could help me out 🙂

- I have a 1TB Fusion drive on the iMac and I'm planning to install Windows via Bootcamp on it, to play a number of video games on it. What is the best version of windows to install on it and how big should i make the partition? (The windows partition will be only used for gaming and the following games: BF4, WoW, Diablo, SC2 and in the future GTA V.)
- Will bootcamp slowdown the iMac in any way?
- Will I be able to connect the next gen consoles (ONE and PS4) to the iMac?

Cheers in advance if you can help me out!

Big enough to hold Windows and those games. I'd suggest 200GB to be safe.

Nope.

Nope. The iMac requires a device that can do Thunderbolt.
 
Thanks for the fast reply mate!

Any tips on which windows version I should get? 🙂

Whichever you like. I'm running Windows 8.1 on this iMac, mostly because I just wanted to try it/don't have to live with it (only use Bootcamp for gaming/Visio).
