I would greatly appreciate a custom build from Cyberpower if its not too much trouble. I'm not even opposed to a custom build I just don't know how. I've only ever done upgrading. I really don't have the money for a completely new PC right now. I can't find the PSU but I'm guessing around 450W as that's what is common for this PC.
I don't really play anything else on this computer other than the sims game and streaming movies and tv. I have another computer that I can play the more high end games on if I want to, but I spend most of my time in the living room taking care of my toddler. So in what little down time I might get I will play on it. This PC is in the living room as the other one is a shared PC between me and my husband and he spends his days off on it so I mostly play on this one.
I am currently trying the Decades Challenge so I put a lot of CC in the game. I didn't have any issues or lag in my game until I added CC to it. I know this is a performance issue because everything else on the PC runs fine. I don't want to put a lot of money in it because it is an old PC and I will eventually get a newer one, just want to upgrade a couple parts to keep my game from lagging more than what it is. The lag isn't bad enough that it hinders gameplay just more of an annoyance so I don't mind upgrading the Graphics or adding DDR to it. If upgrading the power supply is a better option than I will do that. I just don't know which one to do to keep my game performance from lagging.
Any suggestions that can lead me to the right direction, other than buy a new PC, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your responses this has been a bit educational on my part as I didn't even think to look at the PSU.
