I play on a high end laptop and I only play the sims 2, 3 and 4 on my computer. That computer we posted would be fine. Your biggest issue with specs would be the sims 3. That computer has a good video card, better than mine, it has 16 gb ram. Its perfect to last you longer and when your warranty is up you can change things in the desktop. Something I cant do on my laptop. If I did not have the laptop I would buy that desktop.for myself

But someone else said that it has olny 3.5 MB and TS3 needs 2 Mb so that means that if I get TS4 there wont be space, sorry I am not good with computers

3.5 gb they were talking about was the 970 video card. It is a dedicated card that uses it's own ram. The computer itself has 16 gb ram and more than enough to run the game.

You will see by specs below they list the video card as 4gb. Its really 3.5 gb. If you look down further you will see memory 16gb which is ram

and sorry forgot to add your hard drive space is 1TB which is more than enough room for sims 3 and 4

It is more powerful but op wanted more ram, For the price it's worth it comparing to some other computers in same price range. Other computers were offering less ram, less hard drive space and or less video card but same price range. In this case more is better

you can ask ceejay if maybe they can locate something in same price range or lower if you want to go lower.

In the $1200 range I could not find anything better than what I posted. For what they are giving you in that price range it's worth it even if the specs are over what you are looking for. I was finding computers that were offering less for same price. If I was offered a better computer or a less computer for same price I would go for the better computer.

i so understand your hesitancy in pulling the trigger. i would address whats making you second guess. sometimes more researching and shopping can help you feel better to make the final decision. please feel free to ask more Qs if you simply need more understanding of options. and if its price keep looking, the more you review the more you will understand the best prices

like price check
i5 processor
card 750ti or 960 and see price options

I was looking at computers with the 960 but overall they were offering less ram (8gb) etc The one I posted has 16gb ram which is double what others are offering.And the computer I posted also has 1TB hard drive which is more than enough room for cc, mods sims 3 and 2. Others were also offering less HD space.

and according to this 750ti can not play all eps
http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements

Im am editing to add. OP wants to play all eps, sps, mods and cc per op's first post
