Sims 4 Computer Specs *
@monghco That's not a bad system at all, and it should run all Sims 4 content together on ultra graphics settings. You can do a lot better for $1,500 CAD though. For example, I'm seeing what looks like exactly the same model for $1,300:
But even that's more money than you need to spend for the hardware. This HP has the same components, except for 12 GB memory instead of 8 (the difference in the processor models is negligible), and is $100 cheaper:
For the same price as the HP, this MSI has the same processor. graphics card, and memory as the Asus, and a 500 GB SSD:

If you're willing to buy from Newegg, this desktop has a stronger processor and a significantly faster graphics card (an Nvidia 1660 ti) than the ones above, plus 16 GB memory and a 500 GB SSD. It's $1,300, duty and fees included, plus $50 shipping. To be clear, this hardware is overkill for Sims 4, but maybe you'll want to play other games, in the future if not now.

If you'd prefer to buy from a local company, this one is $1,400 and has a 1660 ti and 16 GB RAM as well:
Or, if you'd rather save money, this computer would also run Sims 4 on ultra. Its graphics card is actually a bit faster than the 1650 for gaming, although not necessarily for other graphics-intensive tasks.

There are plenty of other options if you want to get picky. Just let me know if these aren't quite what you're looking for, and I'll do another search. The other approach you could take would be to order a custom build, in which case you'd get to pick the components and have it delivered in a few weeks. It would be more expensive, although the hardware is typically higher quality when you go this route. Let me know if you're interested.
And of course if you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
