Hi, I know a lot of people have asked but I kinda wanted to know for my self since I'm rubbish at computers and afraid I wouldn't pick the right one!! I know there's loads of issues with the sims 3 & my laptop lags loaads so I wanted to know what's the best computer to run the sims 3& all of the expansion packs on high settings with no lags? I'm not made of money either so my budget is only £600. Thanks so much if you can help!

R9 280 will provide SLIGHTLY faster performance than the 760. Non overclocking build that's in your budget.
