I just found a nice iMac and struck a deal with the seller. My son is in need of his first computer, and I'm curious if this iMac can handle games like Minecraft and Roblox without any issues. Also, do any of you know where I can find Mac image files?

Honestly, iMacs aren't really meant for gaming. Most games aren't designed for OS X, and this model you mentioned seems pretty old with just integrated graphics. You might want to consider a PC instead, especially one with an AMD APU.
If you can, I'd suggest saving a bit more and investing in a affordable PC, maybe around $500. You'll get much better performance compared to an old iMac, plus there are plenty of resources here to help you build your own!
Sweet, Thanks for the support!
Nope, Apple computers don't really support many games. While it might run Minecraft and Roblox, anything else is likely out of reach. I'd recommend looking into a Windows PC instead, especially if you're working with a budget of $200.
I have some spare mice and keyboards but not a monitor. My budget is $200.
A 13-year-old iMac is definitely not the best choice for gaming, especially since it hasn't been supported for years. There's a reason it's priced so low, and your son deserves a better first gaming experience than that.
Alright thanks!
