I would avoid the I3 or I5 chips, they are just old news. that being said, the I7 chips are expensive.
do you use your computer for any other media like movies and such?
4gigs of ram isn't very much at all these days. My laptop has 16gigs and is expandable to 32gigs. *and I wouldn't really recommend one less then 8gigs for photo editing*
It sounds mostly like you're looking at the Mac for only one reason, and that's the monitor.
People have been editing just fine for years on normal LCD monitors, so I wouldn't necessarily put out the extra coin for that specific Mac just for the monitor.
If you have an LCD TV, and you hook a PC up to it, you'd be doing pretty well for photo editing. Even a 21-27 inch gaming monitor for your PC will be very sufficient. Many of them now have HDMI inputs. Just make sure the PC has a good video card.
