iMac 21 4K

Hello

What upgrade should I get for iMac 21 4K?

There is several options:
- 3.0 GHz quad-core i5 (7th generation) versus 3.4 GHz quad-core i5 (7th generation) versus 3.6 GHz quad-core i7 (7th generation)
- 8 GB RAM versus 16 GB RAM
- 1 TB Fusion Drive versus 512 GB SSD

I'm thinking of getting cheaper 3.0 GHz quad-core i5 and more RAM/SSD.

Here is 4 builds:

V1

3.4GHz quad-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
16GB 2400MHz DDR4
512GB SSD
Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB video memory
Magic Mouse 2 + Magic Trackpad 2
Magic Keyboard - US

2348 euro


V2

3.0GHz quad-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
16GB 2400MHz DDR4
512GB SSD
Radeon Pro 555 with 2GB video memory
Magic Mouse 2 + Magic Trackpad 2
Magic Keyboard - US

2273 euro


V3

What do you think?

For general usage, no professional tasks (only some photo editing).

Thanks a lot

3.0GHz i5 + 16GB RAM + 512GB SSD is the best value and will last longer than 8GB and a fusion drive. If you want to play games, you should get the Radeon 560.
