I'm thinking about buying the new iMac that just arrived a few days ago. I'm deciding between the

21.5'' with 3.2GHz Intel Core i3
or
21.5'' with 3.60GHz Intel Core i5 (option)

I use my Mac for Aperture and Photoshop alot. I also use iMovie once or twice a year. The only game that I will put in it is The Sims 3. So which one should I get? Thank you

Go for the i5. I just ordered this exact configuration. The i5 will yield better performance, and the $200 premium will pay off in the future when you will need the extra performance for more demanding applications.

Depends what you can afford, if money is not an issue then the latter one.
