Re: Re: Best Budget Desktop PC's 2021 for Sims 4

@scarletgirl27  I've moved your post to its own thread since the other thread was a bit old.

Are you looking for the cheapest good-quality option that will meet your needs, or the best computer your budget can buy?  Here are an example of each, respectively:

I'm not saying that either of these is the absolute best option; I didn't do a thorough search.  But both are very good prices for their hardware, and both would run Sims 4 on ultra graphics settings at over 100 fps when the game itself isn't being difficult.  (That can't be avoided, but at least these would give you some cushion to absorb the usual fps drops.)

You also have the budget to get a custom-built PC, if that's what you want, although those are more expensive.  How much more, I'd have to check—prices were bad six months ago but should have come down to some degree since then.  The advantage is in the build quality and the upgrade options down the line, but you don't really need to go that route if you're not interested.  A prebuilt PC from a company that also does custom builds, like Cyberpower does, has the same quality hardware, it's just that you don't get to pick the components.

If you'd like help picking out a monitor as well, let me know what size you want and we'll go from there.
