Q. My computer can just barely run the sims 2, do you think that non-gaming computers will be able to run the sims 3?
A. Depends what the spec requirements for Sims 3 is, it's not coming out for awhile. Take a gander at Sims 2 computer requirements - if your computer can't run Sims 2 it won't be able to run Sims 3.
What are good computers for playing the sims 3 games?
Q. I wanna play the sims 3 on a computer, but not just the sims 3. I have almost every expansion pack and stuff pack and I plan on adding the Island Paradise to my collection to and I want to put all those games on ONE computer! What kind of computer or laptop is powerful enough to hold all these games, possibly more as EA stats to make new sims games, and also makes them run smoothly and perfectly?
A. What type of computer? You need to be more specific than that.
But, for starters I wouldn't get a laptop. With a computer you can always upgrade it little by little whenever you feel like it and you won't have that luxury with a laptop.
I don't recommend going to a retail store like Best Buy as they over charge.
I'd go to cyberpowerpc.com and click on the tab/menu at the top that says intel computers or gaming computers. There's one there for $600-$700 I think. That would play the Sims 3 fine....of course that's "only" the PC (no monitor). You can choose to customize it and add a monitor if you needed...or even have them upgrade and add a better video card or processor or whatever. Of course each additional upgrade you put in raises the price depending on which video card you get or which processor your upgrade to. However, in this way you are getting exactly what you wanted which isn't really the case with PC's bought at a retail store.
I did buy a PC+20"monitor on ebay last week for $391 for my little girl. 6gb ram, 3.2ghz processor, 1 TB harddrive...and iwth a monitor?! hell of a deal. I had a spare video card since I upgraded mine not too long ago so I gave her the spare. Other than that I just had to buy a better powersupply ($50). So, for $440. I got a PC+Monitor which can play any game out there right now.
