imac 2010 running xcode 5


I know this is not a programming specific question, but I am wondering what are some of the issues that occur when upgrading and using xcode 5 on older iMac models(2010 to be more specific)? I know there are the obvious concerns of older components just running slower, and of course it would always be "best" to upgrade to a newer model, but I am wondering if it would be sufficient to just add RAM and other spec improvements as needed to develop iOS 7 mobile apps? (mobile app dev is really the primary purpose for using the mac)

Thanks a bunch.
