Yes it'll work. No you really shouldn't get it. 

Out of curiosity, why do you want an iMac so badly? 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Give a legitimate reason. IMO, the only reason to get an Apple product (especially a computer) is if you're already deep into the Apple ecosystem or you absolutely NEED Mac OS. Otherwise, it's expensive, unreliable, hard to fix, and just generally not worth it, even used.

Do you have other apple devices? Have you been using macOS for a while before this? 

Why?

It'll be able to run Roblox and Minecraft, but not very well. I don't recommend buying an iMac though, you'd be better off buying a used PC from ebay or CeX.

What about the settings I put in the picture? But I don't want a Used Windows Computer since I'll rather iMac

I can't see what setting it is, so unfortunately I can't answer.

In that case, just buy the iMac you mentioned in your first post. It's probably going to be the only one you'll find under £300 anyway.

What about like 4 bars? Thats 5 bars and you are correct it is Graphic Settings.

Roblox will run on far worse hardware and far more demanding game modes. I haven't played the most recent patch, but I had one potato of a PC back in the day and it played it perfectly fine at 1080p. I really can't imagine it has gotten all that much more demanding.

 

Enjoy your iMac man.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

There are much better apps than those that can do the same thing but better, and you don't need a Mac to run them.

 

 

I mean, do whatever you want, but I personally think an iMac is one of if not the worst machine you could get. At least consider the old Mac Pros, the first cheese graters. They're pretty cheap, actually upgradable/repairable, and just a better value than an old iMac imo.

Mac? I don't like Laptops I need a new Computer/PC (iMac) and I'm still wondering if it'll run with no lag at 4 bars of graphics settings and still haven't got a awnser

if you don't get an imac, you can always just upgrade it if it's not fast enough
