    I'm a designer, I still use my 2009 27" iMac although I upgraded the drive to a 500GB SSD and maxed it with 16GB of RAM. Runs the full CS suite no problem, including premier pro and after effects.

    As I have had mine for so long I will be upgrading it next year, but for now it serves my purpose, but as a minimum I would say the 27" screen, make sure its got as much ram as it can handle and make sure you get the thunderbolt equipped ones (which mine isn't) because that is the main difference in the models, I think model year 2012 onwards is best.

    Like all things, spec out as much as you can afford to future-proof it for as long as you can, thats what I did in 2009 and its still going strong.

    Next year, it will become an Apple TV install in the bedroom :-)

        you can probably pick up a good bargain on eBay and upgrade the components, its easy to get the screen off and upgrade the drive, etc... good videos on youtube available
