I just got an old asus monitor, 15 inch. Idk what those vsync are lol. I was gonna get a pc built but the list he had was very similiar to this one except it had a bit more space on the SSD, so i figured it should do the job. I only play WoW and sims 3, the rest is watching movies/browsing web. Hope this PC can do those two games alright, they tried to find a decent one.
@animexlife Vsync is short for "vertical synchronisation", and it means that the frame rate of a game and the refresh rate of a gaming monitor are synchronised, i e the graphics card doesn't generate more frames per second, FPS, than the monitor can display.
And since Sims 3 doesn't have any built-in FPS limiter you have to set it manually in your graphics cards control panel. If you don't do this your card will go crazy and deliver tens of thousands FPS to no avail and burn itself out in the process. I'm sure you don't want that to happen to your nice new computer.
