    New PC for Sims 3 and 4 - any advice?

    in PC - Technical Discussions
    Hi, I'm considering purchasing a new desktop for game play and other general use, but as I am not very technical I thought it best to post here first. I currently only play Sims 3 and 4 so I would like a PC which is able to run both of these games (with expansions) smoothly. Right now I own a Hewlett-Packard p7-1058uk PC (Windows 7, 4GB RAM, i7 Processor, 64 bit, Intel HD Family graphics), which I have been informed is not ideal. I've started looking at the recommended graphics cards listed for the Sims 3/4, but if anyone can offer me their advice I would really appreciate it. I'm in the UK.

    Thanks for any feedback.

      Colton forgot to ask you your budget and do you play any other games besides the sims 3/4 ?

      Hi again, sorry should have clarified - I don't play any other games, at least not at the moment. I'm not certain what a realistic budget should be, but possibly around £750 or £800 at the highest.

      When @chesterbigbird comes on the forum later than can help you. Customs the best way to go and they can do custom configurations on line with places like cyberpower uk
