No difference in price but you get so much better engineering with the iMac. Try to fit all of these components in a wafer thin enclosure... and then slap it on the back of your display after that - not gonna happen bud. Plus there is no resale value in home built PC's. On the other hand, a Mac can be sold for over half it's original price years later. The iMac Pro is therefor a very sound purchase for the working professional.
