With a SSD and lots of ram, you'll be fine for a good 3-4 years at least. I've got a mid 2010 that works perfectly fine with the latest OSX install and I've got a $500 27" Samsung display attached (same resolution as thunderbolt at half the price).

Not sure about 4k performance, can you run 2 external 4k monitors? That I don't know.
Yeah, that's my concern -- iMacs are very underpowered, so I'm worried about my displays (I usually attach 4).
