Hello
I use an iMac. If you want to go with the iMac then you want to get as much RAM as possible (8 GB is OK but 16 would be better - it's a lot cheaper to replace the RAM yourself as when you buy it through Apple it's very expensive), especially if you intend to install a lot of expansion packs for the game. It chews through memory faster than I can get through jaffa-cakes. Get a decent graphics card.
If you are going to use the computer for lots of things then it might be worth getting a Mac, but if your main aim is to play TS3, then, as much as I love Macs, I would go with a PC because then you would avoid the additional problems that are encountered by Mac simmers. If you remain keen on a Mac then I would recommend you read these threads:

Before you spend a load of money on a new computer, though, are you sure you can't fix your game on your current computer. Is that a Mac?

In my country, I can buy Dell with NVIDIA® GeForce GT 640M graphic card. Is it good?
The wiki page doesn't give it green all across.
My card (550ti) on the other hand only has a maybe and some no's too and it rund fine with all EPs. I do get some loading delays but other than that it's fine. It doesn't crash.
What about NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M ?
That has two maybe's on the wiki page but I think it should be fine.
This is just my opinion and I can't give you any guarantuees though.
