No you do not NEED a video card just for sims. You never stated your budget though so if you can afford one, then getting one certainly wouldn't hurt.

And I would not even CONSIDER a FX6300 in a new build today. The i3 is a lot better and newer more future proof.

I would probably get a laptop for those uses, but here is a very solid little build. I don't think you even need a video card, but you could add one if you wanted.
