Gaming computer assistance
I am looking for a gaming computer to play The Sims on. I have zero knowledge about gaming computers so I would like someone's help finding one. I don't need top of the line nor do I want just the ba...

Stephon386 If you want to go right up to $800, this one has an RTX 4060, which is overkill for Sims 4, and other hardware that is more than sufficient for your needs:
ABS is Newegg's in-house system integrator: the company makes prebuilt computers with the leftover components it doesn't sell separately. So you're getting the same class of hardware you would if you built the computer yourself.
If you'd like to keep the price down as much as possible, this one is still more than capable of running the game, all packs included, on ultra graphics settings. The processor isn't great but will more than keep up with the graphics card, which is the important point when it comes to gaming.

These two have much better processors, which would probably only help a little in Sims 4, but they'd better support a faster graphics card in the future should you ever want to upgrade:

There are a few other options here and there for similar systems, but I think these are the ones worth considering given their price and hardware. However, if none of them is exactly what you want, let me know why, and I'll try to find something else that fits better.
I sincerly appreciate your help. These look great. I have no earthly clue what I am looking for, so I'll take your suggestions wholeheartedly.
I do have another ask... let's say I wanted something no higher than $500. Is that possible? I am trying to weigh all my options.
Would getting a laptop, then hooking it up to monitors be a better way to go? In the grand scheme of things, I want to play on a much larger screen than a laptop can provides. But if connecting to a separate monitor might work and a laptop could possibly be cheaper, I am willing to do that. As I mentioned previously, I only want to play sims. I stare at a computer all day long for work so spending a lot of money is not in any interest of mine for 1 game.
I really appreciate all your help.
