Best PC for sims 4?
Best PC for sims 4, I just want one that’s going to run the game smooth with all the expansion packs etc. I have looked into it but I just don’t understand what I’m looking for as I’ve never had to, ...
@puzzlezaddict I knew building my own would be more expensive. I didn’t mind that though cause I’d of been choosing and making it my own, but I’m not the best at understand what’s good for the game and what might be too powerful or not powerful enough that’s why I was looking into prebuilt ones but the more I look into them I liked the thought of building it.
I have looked into all the different components, so I know the basic stuff - all the stuff I need to build one but don’t know the real tech stuff part of it, for example I know I need a ram but not sure what would be the best type I would need etc.
So overall I’m open to looking at all 3 types of PC, I can go over £800, that budget was just mostly of a decent PC.
Sorry if I rambled, if you could help that would mean a lot, I’ve been looking for so long but I always question what I want to do.
Thank you!
@alexjaynemIt's important to note, there's no such thing as too powerful. You want a good computer that's going to last you many years, so that you don't have to replace it again 2 years from now.
I would encourage you to build your own computer for a couple of reasons.
First being, it's actually not that hard. Sometimes annoying, especially when components don't like playing nice with each other and you have to do a bit of troubleshooting. But quite simplistic and straight forward when it comes to putting everything together.
Next, say 2 years from now, you decide you want more memory or ... you want to upgrade your graphics card. Because you built it, you know exactly what your doing. Now your not at the mercy of someone else to do it for you.
When it comes to price, I actually found building my own was cheaper and I had better components then what was being offered in big box store computers at the time.
@zoiee2020 I’m more leaning towards building one. I’ve been doing more research on it and watching YouTube Vids about the components so I at least know a little bit more than what I did before.
I’ve heard a lot of people say that building one is much better cause you can upgrade it when you need and you can personalise it to your preference and the requirements.
I’m just not very good when it comes to makes and models but now I’ve did a little more searching I think I know what I’m looking for. I’m excited but I question if things are compatible or if won’t work etc.
