Hello,

Your computer should be able to run the Sims 4, probably at medium-high settings. This may drop to just medium settings after many EPs are added.

You could get better performance if you upgraded your GPU, but it should work pretty well if not.

Post full report please. I can see the 550 ti, which is above the recommended 650. Your CPU and RAM are fine.

What else should I post? When I tried to post all of the dxdiag, the forum told me it was to long.

your pc should be able to play on medium/high or mostly high.. your weakest link is the graphics card, but having said that it's not a bad graphics card and should play the game ok.
Might want to update your drivers though they are from march.

I also agree performance may drop after added expansions and CC.

Thanks so much Chesterbigbird, I was concerned about the graphics card too. I play the Sims 3 fine so I can wait a while before I worry about a new PC for the Sims 4. Thanks for reminding me about the drivers I will update today. Thanks for your help. :D
