Just realized that my "new" iMac will accept DDR3 SO-DIMMs, so I can pop in a whole 8GB from my old laptop once I get back from the holidays.
I haven't yet made my mind up yet about future upgrades, but it's running OSX 10.12 Sierra with no issues. I may snag an i7-870 off Ebay down the road to replace the current i3-550. Still not sure about how much I want to crack this thing open, as that'll mean having to do mostly a complete teardown before I can reach the socket(yes, it's an actual LGA 1156 socket in there :D)
Haven't ruled out an SSD yet, but luckily it's a 7200RPM hard drive so it's bearable. I really miss my 5-8 second bootups, but it's more bearable than a 5400RPM.

It’s pretty nice. My iMac is a 2011 27”, have 32gb in it lol

I have a 27" from the year before, I think it maxes at 16 or 32.
It's a beautiful screen, I could definitely envision just using it as a monitor(since this iMac supports that).

Possibly. Power draw is my main concern. this iMac might not be able to handle a 100+W card, even if it is MXM.
