    @dlarlQma  That is... a long list of games.  All of them would run on the computer I linked, or even the one you linked.  If you want ultra graphics settings though, five of them—Captain Spirit, For Honor. GNOG, Last Day of June, and Mutant Year Zero—would be close calls, even with the slightly stronger AMD RX 580.  High settings should be fine for any of them.  (A 580 should always be able to run Sims 4 on ultra, even accounting for future expansion packs, but an Nvidia 1650 might not quite be strong enough.  Again though, high settings would always be fine.)

    But if you'd like a graphics card that's even a bit stronger, either to give yourself some breathing room or to allow for other demanding games in the near future, I can try to find something a bit better.  Just let me know your budget, and I'll have a look around.

    You're definitely going to need more than 512 GB of storage as well.  But, like I said before, it's extremely easy to install a second drive when you need it, and usually cheaper than limiting yourself to the prebuilt models that come with a large amount of storage included.

    is it possible to know the best graphic card (no budget) and best budget friendly graphic card.

    @dlarlQma  Are you talking about what you would do if you built a computer yourself, or what you might buy in a prebuilt model?  I'm guessing you don't really want one of the high-end cards, like the $1,200 2080 ti.  If you're just considering how your games would run, an Nvidia 2060 or 2060 Super would be more than enough.  An AMD RX 580 would be a budget option that would still run your games reasonably well.  Sims 3 only needs an Nvidia 1050 in a desktop.

    If you're asking a more specific question though, please clarify.
