Is it ok if I choose Intel® Core™ i5-4690K 3.5 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150 (All Venom OC Certified) and the link you sent me does the monitor come with speakers? And does windows 8 come with office 365 not the free trial?
Hello,
You can change to the Intel Core i5 4690K if you wish, but unless you plan on overclocking this processor (which is perhaps hard to do and has many risks for those who don't know what they're doing), you won't notice any improvement in game performance. The monitor does not come with speakers, but the speakers found in most monitors are rubbish so I would recommend buying external speakers. And the Windows 8.1 (Windows 8 by itself is no longer available) only comes with a free trial.
By the way, the deals from the Veteran Day Sales are over now I believe.
I hope this helps and keep simming,

So what you're saying is if I buy windows 8 its going to have windows 8 for as long as I have my pc but the office thing is only going to be a trial?
Hello,
That is correct. The license for Windows 8.1 is indefinite, whereas the license included for Office 365 will only last a month or so (and therefore is only a trial product).
I hope this helps and keep simming,

I've seen this girl gamer play ts3 and ts4 at high settings for both games and it runs really fast and smooth. Can you tell me if my pc will run the sims games diferently and if so how different?
Here are her specs:
i7-4790K 4.0 GHz
24 GB Ram
3gb GTX 780 Ti
2TB Hard Drive
250GB SSD
Windows 7 Professional
Hello,
While that computer is more powerful than the one I suggested, I doubt you would notice much performance difference. The reason being is that there comes a point with games where adding more powerful components does not make much difference because the human eye cannot notice the higher frames per second. Perhaps the only difference is that this person has an SSD, which makes general computing faster, but from tests seems to have no effect on TS3 or TS4 loading times.
The computer I suggested should be able to play The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 with all expansion packs at maximum settings.
I hope this helps and keep simming,

Wouldn't it be better to get windows 8.1 pro and then when my office 365 trial is over I can use word,PowerPoint,etc online without having to download or buy it?
Hello,
Unfortunately Windows 8.1 Pro does not come with a license for Office 365 - you would once again need to purchase a full license after the trial has ended. However, I believe you can get Office Online applications for free with a OneDrive or Microsoft account, but with heavily reduced functionality.
I have used those websites in the past for reference, so they're pretty useful.

Will this monitor be good for the desktop,will this monitor have good resolution,decent or better speakers,and is it pretty big?

Hello,
That looks like a standard good quality monitor, with a good resolution, fine response times. But generally speakers on monitors aren't exactly great, but they aren't too bad for most things. In terms of size, its perhaps larger than you're used to, but in no way that big - I'm using a larger 24in monitor, and I don't think its too large to be honest.
I hope this helps and keep simming,
