21.5-inch: 2.9GHz 1TB hard drive NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB as I wanted a bit more processing power and the price gap was not too much so I treat myself to something better..
The 27 probably it was too big for my need so I was not tempted too much

I bought the 27" 3.4GHZ 2GB VRAM with the 3 TB fusion drive....it replaced a 2011 maxed out model, and also benefits from 32GB of RAM. The extra power is what I've become used to, and the better, faster shortage option is a great help too.
I would have liked the large SSD, but decided that I really couldn't justify the extra expense. I have plenty of off Mac storage available, and I couldn't be happier with my new ( January) iMac.🙂

Didn't feel it was worth the money to go up to the i7. But I have always ordered the best video card when getting computers. Never know if I will run something graphically intense over the next 3-4 years and I will use it for some gaming. The RAM I can always upgrade to more later since its cheap. And I stuck with 1TB fusion cause I've had 1TB of space that last 4 years on my old computer and it's not even near half full.

My first Mac. Had to decide if I wanted to upgrade to Windows 8. A better thought was switching to OSX. When I made my mind up I went for the Gusto and got the 27" with all the upgrades cause I knew I wasn't going to change back to that other OS.
Had my Mac almost two months and have been very satisfied. I am glad I went over to the dark side as it's known. Now it's two iPhones 32 Gig and two iPads 32 gig and Our Mac. I almost said my Mac but God with the money I spent I have to let the wife use it or I would be in trouble. She was on it all day today while I was at work.
I didn't get a chance to vote in the poll but I thought I would comment.
