To help the budget slightly don't get the RAM from Apple, get it from Crucial or OWC.

Try the iMac without extra RAM because I have done speed tests with my Mac mini's and there is now little or any measurable difference with or without extra RAM. The way Apple have the system configured is very efficient.

It's very easy to install yourself, or was on all previous versions of the iMac, but take full anti static precautions. You will be unlikely to make the RAM unusable but it can affect the reliability of the internal circuitry of the RAM if you give the chips a static jolt.
