Computer Question

[Neos]

I'd suggest buying a whole new computer because of all the components you would need to buy anyway. Even your dvd player is probably very slow haha.

For Sims 3 you don't really need a true hardcore gaming pc or something though. EA wants money, and therefor they make a game a normal computer can run. I think you're set with 600-700 dollars (not including a screen which i do suggest you need to buy as well =P).
