So I am in need of a new desk top. The only problem is is that I am completely and utterly computer retarded. So help me yeah?

Would like it to be a pc. I have no idea what my budget would be but I would say $700 maybe 800? Needs to be able to run the sims 3, other than that I just have my adobe junk, and music.

Yeah, like I said I'm computer stupid and have no idea about anything.

^I agree, I own the SIMS 3, and it's not a game that just any PC can play. In fact, the SIMS 3 is more demanding than Crysis (the most graphic intensive PC game available). You're going to need at least an ATI 4850 or NVidia 9800 to play it on a decent setting.

The following cards will be able to crunch that game out:
  • GTX 295
  • HD 4870 X2
  • GTX 280
  • GTX 285
  • HD 4850 X2
  • 9800 GX2
  • GTX 260
  • GTX 275
  • HD 4870
  • HD 4890
  • 8800 Ult
  • 9800 GTX
  • 9800 GTX+
  • GTS 250
  • HD 3870 X2
  • HD 4850
This game is also very CPU intensive. It's crashed my computer a few times. Based on your budget and your goal (to play the SIMS 3), my suggestion to you is to build a computer. You can do it.
