A very good PC. I strongly recommend something with an i7 or equivalent, and at least 8GB of RAM. The PC I mostly use for TS4, and now TS2 as well won't run TS3 with anything more than one expansion pack without crashing (integrated graphics, CORE i5, 8GB RAM), but my laptop (i7, I think around 8GB of RAM--bought it used, since it was the only rugged laptop on my budget) will run two packs at once. And that's with everything on low or medium. And even then, there are slow moments. I did buy a gaming PC that did run TS3 quite well (i7, Radeon Graphics, 8GB RAM), but the RAM failed soon after purchase. I will change the RAM out (RAM isn't much more than the UPS postage to the warranty office for Acer in Texas--and besides, I think their rough handling when I got the PC from Amazon started the issue)), and it should run better.
But, in terms of the game itself, get it. It's much better than TS4, and definitely improved over TS2 in some ways (Sims in TS2 are better, in my opinion). And Steam, every now and then, will put most of the EPs on sale for $5 each. I've bought most of them, as of late. But, just the base game has lots to offer--pun intended. There's plenty of lots to build on and explore, which most of the other Sims games don't.
