The best iMac has a 4850 graphics card. That'll set you back a long ways and it's not that good of a card. It'll cost $2099.
This build has the exact same components as the iMac that costs $2099.

My build comes out to $1333.88. Unless Mac OS X is worth $765.12, they are really ripping you off.
Your build is not comparable, that monitor does not have the glass cover nor does it support IPS. Add a IPS display to your build that is 27" and it will significantly increase your build price.
Here goes one from dell for $1,000

So yeah, the iMac is a good buy
Alright, subtract the monitor in my build, add the Dell 27" with IPS and it comes out to about $2080. Still about the same as the iMac Plus, you get future expandability.
Really the iMac comes out to $2099 + $100 for Windows. He'd still need a copy of Windows for his games. $2199
My build with windows included and the dell monitor is about $2099. Plus with the PC you get: future upgrades, you get to know exactly what quality of parts are going into your PC.
Plus, this guy isn't even looking at IPS monitors or even 27" monitors. This guy needs a PC.

Are you serious, dude? Is it that hard to accept that iMacs aren't made for gaming? Their forte is image editing.

Actually he was talking about image editing from the beginning
Okay guys, I've put off this decision but I need a new computer ASAP. It's either the top of the line fully loaded Dell XPS 9000 or the top of the line iMac 27". I'm going to be using Word and Excel, heavy video editing and gaming. My attraction to the iMac is that it's all built into the screen and the fact that macs don't slow down the more programs you put on it. The downside is that I've never had one before and don't know the OS, and I know my way around a PC in my sleep. Also, for gaming on an iMac I'll have to reboot the computer in bootcamp all the time (sounds like a pain). I don't want a custom-made computer though. Thoughts?
Pretty hardcore gaming. Oblivion, Fallout, etc. Two people at the Apple store who claim to be gamers say the top of the line iMac is a decent gaming computer.
So I have no idea why you brought up these programs..you tell me what was better than Quark and Design for doing Graphics
