That 5K display alone is easily worth $1500. It's for creative professionals, video editors, etc. I'm curious too OP, wonder if anyone has a good answer.Apple products generally are not good value for PC gamers, but you have to consider this system as a complete package and consider what kind of components you're getting and who it's for. No to bash Apple, I appreciate their previous innovations but I really can't get over their price tags(not just this product) when other cheaper options offer more and/or are just better.

This apple rig just is not worth it, will businesses expense it? Yeah probably, but for home use? fuck that I spent $3400 all in, with tier 1 peripherals, and that's a pretty decent rig, not the best, but pretty close.

Not only that, this thing maxes out at 32gbs of ram at 2666mhz? My rig has a 1080ti & 64gbs of ram at 3000mhz, plus i run a 5820 (6core 12 thread), on a good old x99 chipset, on 1440p 165hz (PG279Q). With a rig like this, the Mobo will have 4 PCIe slots, allowing for a shit ton of expansion, plus multiple bay slots in the case (which the apple has none of). Just Apple-expensiveWhat would you rather own? When you build it yourself, you can have it be multi function using a rendering graphics card & probably a Titan Xp for gaming and streaming. Adding that profit percentage on top of the 6000 of iMac roughly yields you the same amount (9000). That thing sells for 1000-1300? Profit of 500-800 per unit.
