I’m building a Custom PC for Gaming and Modern Warfare 2, What Processor Should I Get? »

What is a good gaming computer or computer for playing The Sims 2 or 3?

I like to play the computer game The Sims 2 (eventually would like to get The SIms 3) and I need a recommendation on a computer that will run it good.

I don’t know much about computers as far as hard drive and such, so I need to know what a good computer, RAM, hard drive and such would work good to run The Sims 2.

If you have additional questions just ask me! Thanks so much!!

1 2.4 Ghz CPU Minimum(Quad or Dual Core, Intel or AMD)
1 Motherboard( that will accept the above CPU’s and below RAM and video card)
4 Gb’s of RAM( minimum ) (800Mhz or higher, DDR2 or DDR3, Dual Channel)
1 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card ( min. of 512 mgbs of Video RAM, min. of 256 Bus Width)
1 7200 RPM / SATA2 Hard drive (size depends on you)
1 DVD Burner (DVD-RW/CD-RW)
1 Power Supply that will power all the above and still have a few watts to spare
1 Case to contain al the above
Research all the above very well (ie: Make,Manufacture and so on), match everything (make sure all the parts will work with each other) , Seek Advice if needed and if done right, you should be able to play just about any PC game out on the market

    Look at the requirements and get something thats a bit higher so it runs very smooth and can still also play games in the future.
