Gaming pc ??

[bandit]

Are you able to put together a PC yourself if you buy all the parts separately? Or are you looking for something that is already built?

Hey so I'm looking to buy a new computer and I know basically nothing about them, I want it so I can play all my sims games on it looking to spend around/under 1000$
Any recommendations?

Well as a computer technician myself I would highly recommend purchasing parts seperatley and build your own pc. It is much cheaper and really great. I mean you can really build your own pc with custom desired Ram , CPU , hard drive and Dvd Rw ! Although alienwares are great they tend to be much expensive. Therefore you can really create your own but if you are looking to spend the full 1G , go ahead and purchase an alienware.

I "built" my own tower through iBuyPower... I opted to have it actually built for me since I was too lazy to figure it out, although I've generally heard that's way less expensive and, as many people have already said, not really that hard.

I really enjoyed going that route and picking out exactly what I wanted, reading reviews, etc., instead of just being stuck with whatever came standard. If all you're looking to play is The Sims, you don't even need the best of the best.

Yeah I'm with Rachel, if the sims is as deep as you'll go with gaming you can build a cheap computer with 4gb of ddr3 ram, a cheaper video card, a cheaper processor, and not need a fancy cooling system or anything of the sort. You can build a bad ass computer for what you need it for, for less than $600 and then keep the other $400 for a rainy day lol
