Build something that suits your needs. Then it will be upgradable with time. If you dont want to use Windows, from what I just saw, Davinci resolve runs on Linux.
The moment anything in the imac fails, you'll either need to buy a new one or hope whatever failed is covered by Apple Care... Along with hoping that your data can be retrieved by the "geniuses" working there and overall being stuck in the overpriced Apple Ecosystem...
Since you mention the 9600k, I'm guessing you're thinking about the most expensive 27" iMac that starts at $2,299.00 for 8GB of RAM? (Or $2500 with 16GB of RAM... +$170 for applecare, lets not even mention all the dongles you might need)
You can get a pretty good DIY PC that match or exceed it + a good 27" 4k IPS monitor for that price...
jetforce reacted to Donut417 in iMac, prebuilt or diy?
