@RoseFinn12 Not only is this information unavailable, I doubt even the developers know the answer right now. They're undoubtedly hoping to make a game that will run on low-end computers—they don't want to lock out a large portion of their audience, after all—but it's far too early to know how demanding the final product will be.
If you're looking to buy now, the best favor you can do yourself is to find a system that can be upgraded later if it becomes necessary. That mostly means a processor that's somewhat overpowered for Sims 4 and a power supply that can handle more than the current components will draw from it. This usually means looking at options from custom-build companies. Some of them also sell pre-built models, and these use the same quality components as the custom computers. An excellent example in the U.S. in terms of price and build quality is SkyTech:

As you can see, the prices are higher than the cheapest options with the same processor and graphics card, but the quality is higher too, and these builds would accommodate a somewhat faster graphics card down the line without requiring any other upgrades.
If you'd like to talk more about computer specs, just ask.

Okay then I know, thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately I live in Sweden so I probably can't order from there (I think), but maybe you know some other site? 🙂

@RoseFinn12 I wasn't suggesting you order from Skytech, only offering an example of what to look for in general and how the prices compare to other options. I don't know of any specific sites in Sweden either, but I do remember a few years ago helping someone pick out components from a store that did custom builds. That might be more expensive than is strictly necessary here—you don't really need to pick out each component—but the same stores or similar ones might also offer pre-assembled computers.
If you do have any Swedish stores in mind, feel free to link them and I'll take a look. The language difference isn't really a problem since the components have the same names anywhere. I understand you're saving up, so instead of trying to fit within a particular budget, I can give you an idea of the kinds of systems you might consider when you're ready.
