As the main developer, I can only recommend you to buy the fastest disk (SSD) and the best possible GPU card(s). The iMac is not upgradeable - but I guess none of the Macs are these days.
Anyway the top of the pops today is the Mac Pro (dual D700) incl SSD (2x faster than most other drives). This system will really make Capture One fly. IQ180/280 images will process to TIFF16 in about 1.5 sec (base settings). The latest iMac will work as well, but timing is about 5 times slower.

And BTW you can buy a PC with even higher performance (Dual AMD R9 290 GPU) and at a much lower price than the Mac Pro (2013). Remember, the faster the SSD the better.
