Buying computer for complete sims 2 and sims 3 or 4
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:42:59 PM »
Really not sure what computer (or laptop) to buy. My budget is £400-£500. Looking to play complete sims 2 collection and maybe sims 3 or sims 4 as well.

Would this kind of thing work or is the graphics not enough? Some friends have said it is but I'm not certain. Thanks!  ::)

This computer has potential. However it may be a good idea if you choose to get this computer is to purchase a dedicated video card and power supply soon. As the graphics is low-grade and may not be supported by any of the games.

ACER Aspire XC-705

- Intel® Core™ i5-4460 Processor - 3.2 GHz
- 8 GB System Memory
- Nvidia GT705
- Low settings

If you are looking for something that will give overall better gaming performance. Give me a bit and I'll see what I can find in your price range. -- Thank you for posting that. That is very helpful!! :)
