Haha, well I'm glad I have been blessed by the fairy...
It runs Sims 4 with 2 EP's all be it it goes from perfect play to laggy quite randomly, but it is playable. I just put all the graphics options back to medium, windowed full screen mode and laptop mode and it's been running pretty well... For now..
Can't be all that bad then surely? I know it's low end and way, WAY off being a gaming PC and what you expect gamers to use. But it works... For now...
Thank you for the help both of you. Been food for thought for now. I'll see what I can save, sorry for wasting your time for now. I'll probably PM you in a few years or so when I have maybe saved that much money! For now I'll have to struggle on with this one, maybe get rid of my expansions or revert back to Sims 3..
Just save what u can. Hardware do have sales so never know what bargains can be had. Happy to help when needed

Im glad you figured out a way to get your game play better.
When I say your laptop is way below minimum requirements, it is for both games. Just be glad it runs, don't question why it's willing to run. You might jinx the fairy dust
Thank you. We were leaving the case for now. Hubby thinks that the case we have would be a waste to not try to use, it has extra slots to add extensions to it. But we will see how it goes I think.

Ok see how you go. If you need help with the parts or the building just Pm me
Hey sorry to bother you... Again... But been playing around with the parts list again. The previous ones (and the new one actually) have come up with potential compatibility issues, looks like it's just to do with an update but was wondering if that is going to be an issue at all?
The parts came up in the compatibility filter. It's just an update it says they may need. I say that like I know for sure... I don't, but that seems to be what the notes say?
Also, on the requirements page there is an AMD option, I think the one I have chosen surpasses the one they suggest?
Its not that, I don't know AMD so I'm not sure if its enough for the game. Even though it might be on a list right now doesn't mean itll handle the game later on with more patches and especially if get a lot of packs(:
Need to double check the hard drive I have currently and may have to up it slightly, but it has space for me to add to rather than replace. Other than that I think we are good.

Storage is missing because the Pc I am going to rebuild already has 1TB in it.
That looks fine. Wow ram prices are a little high.. usually the motherboard is more expensive then ram... however I'm use to Aus $$

Changed a few parts. Also, lowered the spec on the video card a little, is that going to be an issue? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mLjc7h
Or this one? Sorry, just playing around with my options. Hoping to be able to go ahead with it June time...

Also, on the requirements page there is an AMD option, I think the one I have chosen surpasses the one they suggest?
I would wait for chester but I would get a better CPU. AMD 8000 series. This game is CPU heavy
The one thing that i would absolutely change is the power supply

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze
Personally i would grab the Seasonic.
Never a good idea to skimp on the power supply.
The Graphics card will be fine for the game, It's better then the previous AMD cards.
The cpu will be ok for the time being, The motherboard will allow for a better cpu (AMD FX 8350) So either get the better one now or see how it play's for you and upgrade later.

I've added the new power supply and upped the CPU to the AMD 8300? (Meet in the middle?)
Just pushes me very slightly over budget. No r a major issue just means I'd have to wait for another pay packet.. And I'm impatient..
That cpu is fine
I would stick to the RX 470.. it's better then the Nvidia 1050ti
The 1050ti will work good, However the AMD one is better.

Thank you so so much for all your help @chesterbigbird

These were the pics I showed you. I was just going to see how it goes. Think cooling is needed?
Honestly i would get another case. I do not even know if everything will fit in there.. and yes need more cooling.

agree they need a better case and especially the cooling with AMD.
I will see how it goes and keep an eye on it. Hubby thinks it will be OK, I will sort some cooling and If I need to change it I will do.
