Upgrading PC Help?

Okay so I'm looking to upgrade my PC in the next few months but I have no idea where to start or what is more important to be upgraded.

If I post my PC specs is somebody able to look at them for me and tell me what needs improving if need at all?

I may add the only PC game I play is Sims.

I think this is the main info? but if you need providing with anymore let me know, I appreciate any help. If you don't believe there is need to upgrade please let me know too.


Also, if you suggest an upgrade can you let me know briefly what I will need to do for example if i upgrade a certain aspect do i need a compatible motherboard? or something

  • @Colton147147 No problem at all you’re honestly my only hope of help atm so I appreciate it so much!!

    so this is because the RAM matches my processor and motherboard? XD sorry I just want to get to know a little bit about these things haha.

    I've always heard that you should get a minimum of 16 GB RAM if you're gaming regardless of the game. With The Sims though we've seen them update the specs and 16 GB would guarantee you the space and continued performance.
  • I don't think you want something that can handle the industry standard software. There are plenty of inexpensive computers at Best Buy usually around when school starts that are set up for gaming.
