Sims 4 System Requirements

My current PC does not have the graphics, memory, or CPU speed to handle the sims 4. A laptop is out of the question, because one suitable for gaming starts at 1200.  I found a cpu for $479 and want to know would this provide me with a good to awesome game experience on sims 4

    Just chatted with EA tech support and sent him the specs for this cpu and he said it was awesome for playing sims 4.  So lucky me!!  At $479 its a steal. time to upgrade anyways. thanks for replying

    Still the GPU = Graphcis card might be a bit weak to play at top settings.

    Hello,

    The graphics card in that system should allow you to handle the base Sims 4 game at medium-high settings (depending on the resolution), and probably dropping to medium settings when expansion packs and future patches are added.

    I hope this helps and keep simming,
