Buying a desktop ON A BUDGET
« on: November 20, 2015, 08:42:29 PM »
I've found lots of help for pricey desktops but I am on a stricter budget. I'm looking for a good desktop tower for Sims 4. We do little else on it. Chrome and Jumpstart for the kids is literally it. Everything else is on handhelds or game systems. I need something low cost that will run the game well. Doesn't have to be phenomenal. Refurbished is fine if someone could point me in the direction of a reliable place to buy. Preferably online. Thanks in advance!

Hi DHitch,

What's your budget and what country do you live in?

USA. I don't have a specific budget but IO would realllly like to stay under $500. Well under if possible. That's why I am ok with refurbs. I only need the tower.

Here's a list I put together (below). First one is what I'd call the best of the list. But all of these should play Sims 4 well enough on low/medium settings.

Thank you for asking!! :)
