I want to upgrade to 32mb but didn't want to spend $600 with Apple to do it at setup. I keep seeing conflicting reviews so any help from actual users would be appreciated. Thanks for the help and have a good one.

Before please verify the one on the right is your mac http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/
Your 27 Inch Imac has four SO-DIMM slots and uses DDR3.
So in other words you can have four 8gb of ram to reach 32gb
I would recommend this:
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399806349&sr=8-1&keywords=ddr3+sodimm+8gb (which comes in at round about $360 for 32GB)
Or this
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC3-12800-204-Pin-CT8G3S160BM/dp/B008LTBLLY/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1399806349&sr=8-9&keywords=ddr3+sodimm+8gb (which comes in at about $260 for 32GB)
All of these will work and are considerably less than the $600 apple want lol
Hope this helps!
