New iMac

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi:

The new iMacs finally came out and while a not a huge upgrade it's
time to get a new one.

I plan to get the 27"5k with:

-4.0ghz i7 +$250.00
-Add my own memory ?
-AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4gig video +$250.00

-3tb Fusion +$100.00
OR 512 GB SSD +$200.00

The 1TB SSD is too expensive for me: +700.00

For how ArchiCad works, I really don't know if the Fusion drive is ok, or is the 512 SSD that much better. If I go with the 512GB SSD I would need an external drive which is ok I guess, but since I take it client meetings a lot it would be one more thing to fuss with.

I do mostly custom residential and small commercial. And how much ram to I really need.

thanks!

Don
