@SmiliGirl32 I'd be happy to help walk you through the process. But it would be a bit easier if you had at least some guidelines, or a preferred price limit. You can get pretty much whatever you want on the Cyberpower site, so much so that it's impossible to summarize the options in any efficient way without narrowing things down first. And it also means you can spend several thousand dollars if you try, and that would be totally unnecessary for a computer that's going to run Sims 4 and stream or even edit videos.
So here are a few details that would help. You don't need to answer all of them, just maybe a couple so I know where to start.
Once I have an idea of what you're aiming for, I'll go over the site and describe the range of options you might want to consider.
Thank you @puzzlezaddict for replying! I appreciate you taking time out to help me! To answer your questions. I would say my budget is 2500 CAD, I’m Canadian. But I’m willing to go over that a bit if necessary. I don’t see myself playing any other games. I don’t intend to store a lot of other data aside from Sims. The computer will strictly be for playing Sims and hopefully editing and uploading videos. Component wise I’d probably say in between. I’m willing to spend the money for good quality components but I don’t wanna spend money stupidly if it’s not necessary. I would like to be able to use this computer for quite a long time with the option of getting it upgraded in the future as opposed to having to buy a complete new system. I think that was all the questions you asked but feel free to ask more. Again, thank you so much. I’m so grateful for your help.

@SmiliGirl32 Great, I'll look later today. One question I should have asked but didn't is if you know what resolution you want to play at, and whether you're hoping for high framerates (over 100 fps) or not. Many monitors run at 60 or 75 Hz, so higher framerates wouldn't make a difference to what you'd see on-screen. And it takes more resources to run the game at a higher resolution, although it's not strictly linear, i.e. twice the pixels doesn't usually mean half the fps.
If you don't have a monitor picked out, let me know its specs. Otherwise, just tell me whether you know what you want already. It's fine if you haven't decided—this only really affects the graphics card, and the rest of the components can be chosen independently.
Hi @puzzlezaddict ! I’m looking to play on a high resolution and I don’t have a monitor yet but I think I want a higher framerate. I hope this is useful. Thank you so much for all your effort! It’s truly appreciated!
