Re: best desktops for sims 4

@jaydeeed  Amazon doesn't have much in the way of decent options in your price range, even used, which isn't surprising: the refurbished models are typically less than $100 cheaper than their new versions.  Gumtree gave me a headache—it's so poorly organized I couldn't find anything useful.  But if you see something on the site and want a second opinion, feel free to link it.

I did see several computers on Ebay that would run Sims 4 on high or ultra settings, that is, if they are as advertised.  A few of them are cheaper because they don't come with a Windows 10 license, so you'd have to buy it separately.  And of course there's always a risk buying from Ebay.  But if you're comfortable doing it:

These are ordered from slowest to fastest graphics card, although you may prefer a newer processor, or 16 GB RAM, or more storage, or Windows 10 pre-installed.  (It's easy to install yourself; the point is the extra cost.)  This is probably not an exhaustive list, and new items get added all the time.  But it's somewhere to start.

And of course if you have more questions, or want to expand the search, please feel free to ask.
