Best desk top computer or around $1300

likesaree

Okay so I have $1300 to buy myself a new computer as my old one (HP all in one) died and now I'm struggling to play on my laptop.

I'm in Australia, and currently checking out JB hi-fi but I have no idea what to look for I have no idea how to choose what would work best at running the sims. What kind of computers does everyone else have? And what would you recommend to run the game well thanks

if you are going to build a custom pc then i would recommend a gtx 970,12gigs of ram,a 1tb hard drive, and a i7 -4790k processor it would cost around that price range of i am sure or even less @likesaree and remeber the sims 3 and 4 doesn't require a super pc to play at ultra settings and btw if you have the money get a nvidia gtx1070 or 1080 the only problem is i dont know if these cards supports the sims 3 i am not a pc expert if you are looking for a laptop this should be enough to play the sims 3 and 4 https://www.amazon.com/GL552VW-DH74-15-Inch-Discrete-GeForce-Metallic/dp/B015ZG997I/ref=lp_8588812011_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480933218&sr=1-3 and remember the prices vary according to when you purchased these products

so i scooped for you the best 2 pc's from amazon

this first pc costs 699(usd) which means 943(aus) its not the prettiest but can play alot of todays games at high or meduim and the sims 4 at ultra no problem at around 84fps! https://www.amazon.com/CybertronPC-Rhodium-950-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B01CSE0TVK/ref=sr_1_25?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480933886&sr=1-25&keywords=gaming+pc

this pc is but more expensive but way better you can play alot of todays modern games at ultra settings or high but not all of them and you can play the sims 4 in ultra around 119 fps it costs 779 (usd) or 1049 (aus) and i recommend you to upgrade the ram though 8gb sometimes isnt enough for modern games but in the sims 3 and 4 case it should be no big problem https://www.amazon.com/iBUYPOWER-AM600i-Gaming-Desktop-i5-6400/dp/B01KW42TSY/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480935031&sr=1-9&keywords=gaming+pc

No offense since your not a computer expert and don't live in Aus I don't know why are posting PC's in the USA. Your cluttering up this thread when OP needs actual help

No you can not order PCs from the USA to Aus. One they are in a different zone. Two there would be import fees. There are computer experts in tech that live in Aus and are best suited to help op

OK, your best bet is to get from online sites such as Mwave (recently got my custom $3300 pc from them.) Or pccasegear which is also highly recommended. Avoid the retail stores such as jbhifi as they do not make good computers for gaming.
These would be your best bet within your price range

https://www.mwave.com.au/product/mwave-core-h15-gaming-pc-ab89765
Both will handle the games very well.
