Which is better in the long run?

TheSimsFan1996 · Jan 2, 2014

Hi there, I'm searching for a new desktop computer to play games such as the sims 3 and sim city on and have found two(both of which are on sale)but cannot tell which is better! They seem to be very similar but would someone have any advice as to which one(if either) could play games like sim city and the sims 3 on medium to high settings? Thanks a lot!!

The thing that baffles me is the graphics cards of the two, which is better? Does the processor difference matter, is AMD A10 better in the long run than AMD A8?

first link is a bit faster. it's cheaper because the price reduction is greater. it's a bit better choice.

Both of those should be able to tackle The Sims 3 but the second pc would be one to keep an eye on as it has a gpu which will give better performance than the Media Accelerator. Also it has more slots to upgrade the pc.

no, it doesn't. the 8670D listed is the card that comes built in to the apu. same for the first one too...

So would you say that it's performance was worth it for the price?(the first one)
