Looking for the best iMac desktop to have as my main computer (I also have a light macbook air for just laying around the house on the couch etc) for work (mostly admin stuff), storing personal photos (no a crazy amount) and playing the sims 3, 4, and hopefully 5 when it comes out.
I've done a lot of research and I'm not interested in getting the absolute best gaming computer with the best specs available. I just wanted something that is "pretty good" at running the sims 4 where I wouldn't run into any major issues (I also don't have super high standards as I'm not a huge gamer in general). My other tasks aren't very demanding at all. I also wanted something that is pretty to look at, stylish, and has a good resale value if I decide to get something different in the future.
This is the one I'm looking at on facebook marketplace right now:
21.5” iMac (2017) with 4k Retina Display.
Memory: 16GB 2400 Mhz DDR4
Graphics: Radeon Pro 560 4GB
Processor: 3.6 Ghz Intel Core i7
No blemishes or defects. Has only been used for photo and video editing.
It also says: Purchased directly from Apple was bought with the upgraded i7 3.6GHZ Intel processor, as well as upgraded 1TB fusion drive storage.
Wondering if you think this would be a good buy for $850?
