Pc build advice
« on: August 07, 2017, 11:22:28 AM »
Hi I'm looking for any advice or suggestions for a pc build to play sims 4. However,  I am also open to prebuilts. My preferred budget is $800. Thank you!

This is all from NewEgg.

CPU = Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I56600K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530  ($239.00)
GPU = EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC GAMING ACX 3.0, 04G-P4-6255-KR, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) ($175.00)
MB = MSI Z270 GAMING PLUS LGA 1151 Intel Z270 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard ($105.00)
Mem = 2x HyperX Fury 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4 2133MHz DRAM (Desktop Memory) CL14 1.2V DIMM (288-pin) HX421C14FBK2/8 (Intel XMP, AMD Ryzen) $152.00)
PS = EVGA 400 N1 100-N1-0400-L1 400W Power Supply ($30.00)
Case = Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case ($100.00)
Hard Drive = TOSHIBA P300 3TB Desktop Hard Drive 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail Packaging HDWD130XZSTA  ($90.00)

$ 239 = CPU
$ 175 = GPU 4GB
$ 105 = Motherboard
$ 152 = 16GB SDRAM
$   30 = Power Supply 400w
$ 100 = Case ATX Full Tower
$   90 = Hard Drive 3TB

$ 899


All this stuff will eventually be on sale either at Newegg or Tiger Direct.  Buy it over a few months and the price will be even lower. Personally, I like Intel, MSI, and EVGA and have never had a problem with them, but your millage may vary.

I updated the memory.  I had 240 pin, and the motherboard is 288pin.

Also check pc part picker for compatibilities and other system builds. I wouldn't lean too heavy on it, I always double check the main parts separately, but its good for RAM, hard drives, cases, and other parts compatibilies. Nothing sucks more when you get everything and your case only has usb2 slots or doesn't fit mother board.
