Hi all. This is my first post and I require some assistance in choosing the right iMac replacement for my needs and I'm hoping your suggestions and advice will help steer me in the right direction. I should point out that I am not very computer literate.

I currently have a 2010 iMac with an i3 and have decided that I will definitely go with a 27" 5K version with 16GB of RAM, but am uncertain about whether to go with a 3.4GHz i5 with 4GB of video memory or go all out and buy a 4.2 GHz i7 with 8GB of video memory instead.

I will be using the computer primarily for iTunes, amateur music recording/production (Logic Pro X) and some amateur photo editing. I have thought of possible video editing in the future but I'm not sure if I would get too serious about it, if all all. Therefore I'm not sure I really need the 8GB of video memory. It may be a waste. Lastly, I am hoping to get another 8 years out of this computer as well (fingers crossed).

Any advice would be greatly welcomed and appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob

With video editing, you are going to want as much CPU power as possible. Go with the i7.

If you can afford the Cadillac, then get it. It won't be a waste.
