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, ...
@alexjaynem I played with the U.K. version of PCPartPicker a bit and put together a sample build for you to look at. I didn't include a case or a graphics card, the case because that's a somewhat personal decision and the GPU because the cards you'd probably want are mostly out of stock or overpriced. For example, an Nvidia 1650 might normally be about £140, but the cheapest deal I could find is one that ships from the U.S. and costs over £200 when you factor in shipping and VAT. The same is true for the 1660 variants and the AMD 5500XT.
Without those two components and with a regular Windows 10 license, the total is £519:

I didn't check compatibility on everything because I wasn't sure you wanted to go this route, and I didn't choose the cheapest components, just the cheapest decent ones that I wouldn't feel bad recommending. But at least that gives you an idea of what you might be able to get, that is, if you're willing to wait for graphics cards to be restocked or pay more for what's available now. Or, if you have a friend who got lucky and found the RTX 30-series card they wanted, maybe they'd sell you their current card for cheap.
For the other two options, I'll take a look later tonight if you're still interested in seeing what's out there.
@puzzlezaddict Wow. Thank you!! You didn’t have to do that, I appreciate it.
I'm definitely swaying more to building one, as someone who not very tech smart, this is so much help!! I’m going to check it out, gives me somewhat of an idea of what kind of components I will need, find it very overwhelming all the different types and numbers etc, so thank you so much for helping!
Im off to have a look at the pcpartpicker link you’ve sent.
You’ve really gone out of your way to help. Thank you so much!
@zoiee2020 Thank you! I went straight on that as soon as I saw your reply! Definitely helped find other options that will work too.
