What computer is best to play the Sims 3 on?

Q. I am in the market to buy a new computer. I have a laptop that I am currently using to play The Sims 2 on and it works OK but I want something faster.

I want to buy The Sims 3 when it comes out but I'm not sure what type of computer would be best to buy. I'm sure any gaming computer would be good but I don't know to much about them.

I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers so I just need to buy the tower. Help???

Thanks!

A. If you can play Sims 2 ok, likely you can run Sims 3 as well. As long as your computer is purchased somewhere 2004 and beyond. Sims games don't take much, unless you want tip top performance for Sims 3. But if your'e just going to play Sims 3, it won't be worth it to get a gaming computer. If you do want a new comp, look for deals on cheap towers at frys or best buys for $2-300 and it should runs sim3 fine.

The full Sims 3 minimum requirements follow:

PC/Desktop, XP Service Pack 2:

* Processor: Pentium IV 2.0 GHz / Athlon XP 2000+
* Memory: 1 GB
* GeForce FX 5900 / Radeon 9500
* Graphics RAM: 128 MB

Laptop, XP Service Pack 2:

* Processor: Pentium IV 2.0 GHz / Athlon XP 2000+
* Memory: 1.5 GB
* GeForce Go 6200 / Radeon mobile 9600
* Graphics RAM: 128 MB


What is the best gaming computer I can get for under 550?
Q. I have $550 dollars only to spend on a good gaming computer. One that can play Skyrim and Sims 3 on high graphics. Does anyone know of the best one out there for $550?
I am not making one, it is not the right thing for me.

A. Shirley, the best gaming computer you can buy for cheap is one that you build yourself. Building a computer yourself will save you money and will allow you to buy better parts for less money. Newegg is holding a great components sale:

Also remember that when you buy computers from outlets such as Dell and HP, they will factory install crapware on your PC (help center programs, useless backup software, etc.) that will slow your computer down. Building a computer will allow you to have a computer that doesn't have those programs that will bloat your CPU usage.
