Re: Are these good Pc’s for sims 4?

@christel1e  Of the computers you've listed, the last one, the Cyberpower model from Amazon, is clearly the best in terms of performance.  Second is the Envy desktop, the only other option that's not an all-in-one.  Both of these can run Sims 4, all packs included, on ultra graphics settings.  Neither comes with a monitor, but you could buy pretty much any model and use it with either of these.  Let me know if you'd like some suggestions.

All-in-one desktops use laptop hardware and just attach a larger screen, and they're also usually more expensive than laptops with equivalent components.  Plus, they're about as upgradable as laptops, which is to say not much.  So if performance is your top priority, you're much better off getting a tower desktop.  On the other hand, if you do want an all-in-one for other reasons, there are certainly some fairly decent models out there.  The second model you listed doesn't have a link, but the other two are about equivalent in terms of performance: they could probably run Sims 4, all current packs included, on medium-high to high graphics settings.

If you want other suggestions for a tower, here's one that's pretty much equivalent to the Cyberpower option, except is has twice the RAM, which is convenient if not absolutely necessary.  It's also somewhat cheaper.  Skytech is a quality builder that's been around for a while, and these days, its prebuilt options tend to have a higher build quality than Cyberpower's offerings.

This one has the same graphics card, 16 GB RAM, and a slightly better processor, plus it's also quite cheap for the hardware.  Asus prebuilts are good quality too, nothing flashy but almost never any problems either.

These two have significantly faster graphics cards and better processors too, plus 16 GB RAM.  The extra power won't help Sims 4 much right now, but it might in the future, and it could help other games now.
