Trident 3 Desktop for Sims 4
Hello. I have a MacBook Pro but it’s old and my husband and I are looking into Trident 3 series. It’s on sale so it isn’t as much as it was when it first came out, it’s around $800. We aren’t huge gamers, but he likes the desktop overall and we also need something for school work in August. I would play my Sims 4 on it and he would play a couple simple computer games as well. Would this work? I read a post about someone not recommending it, but wasn’t sure? I don’t know if it’s an overkill since we’d only play Sims 4 on it and do schoolwork. Thanks.
@AllyLee This computer is okay, but its graphics card may or may not be quite enough to run Sims 4 on the highest graphics settings by the time the game is out of development. I believe it has a slow mechanical hard drive, and a power supply that's just barely enough (which you might not care about, but it means that if you wanted to add or upgrade a component, you'd need a new PSU as well). The two screenshots you posted also disagree on whether it has 8 or 16 GB RAM. In short, I think you could do better.
I'm not sure what your budget is, so I had a quick look around, and I found this:

It has a better processor, a better graphics card, and a smaller but much faster hard drive, all for $710. It does only have 8 GB memory, but you could add a matching RAM stick for maybe $50. You could also add a 1 TB mechanical hard drive for around $45, if and when you decided you needed one, although a 500 GB drive will fit TS4 and a couple of small games, plus documents, browsers, etc.
If this isn't what you had in mind, I'd be happy to look around a bit more. Just let me know what you'd like to see.
