Now my lack of computer knowledge is soo bad I really need help. I try asking like them computer store advisors online but I know they are trying to get me to spend more than I need too. So please help!!
OK so like many simmers in the world I was overjoyed when Sims 3 was coming out (Pre ordered it months in advance) But also like many Simmers when the game finally came it did not work because the computer we had was RUBBISH!!!
So enough about my bad luck and more about the question:
Graphic cards are my main problem because I want I really good one to play the game so that I can have it on highest setting possible. But the whole game has to run smoothly.
I need a Desktop (No more than £500, £££££££££)
And ALso some Graphics cards would be good to.
Because I have no clue what im looking for but I am looking on Ebay (I dont care if its not new)
