Im thinking of buying the HP Slim Desktop S01-pF3001na – Core™ i5 (2023) (https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/product.aspx?id=7M4Z9EA&opt=ABU&sel=DTP) but i have no idea how to check if it will run the sims.I've checked all of the recommended specs and it matches up, but it would be amazing if someone could tell me for certain before i buy it 🙂thanks!

@Burford1 This will run the Sims 4 with all packs on high settings. Since it only have integrated graphics Ultra settings are likely out of the question. Since it is a tower you may be able to add a graphics card later (just checked and it does have an expansion slot for that). Check the manual for specifics on what can be added.

Number 3 is by far the best of these also the most expensive. If you also like to play triple A games or plan to this would definitely be the one to go for.
Number 2 beats number 4 on prize and would be able to run the Sims 4 on ultra settings with all packs and will likely be able to also run Sims 5 very well when that comes out. How future packs for that will change things I can not. I can not imagine a situation where number 3 would have any problems running Sims 5 with all packs that it will eventually have.
What are AAA Games?
The term "AAA Games" is a classification used within the video gaming industry to signify high-budget, high-profile games that are typically produced and distributed by large, well-known publishers. These games often rank as “blockbusters” due to their extreme popularity. Many are part of successful franchises, with new installments building on the success of previous games.
