Hello! I am in the need of a new computer, and i decided i should try to build my own. This will be my first time doing this, so any help and advice will be appreciated.
The main thing i want to do with this computer is play The Sims 3. I have pretty much all the expansion packs, but i want the computer to run with all of them on a pretty good setting.
I've only looked a few places, but i wanted to see if the things i have chosen will be compatible with each other and work for the game.
PROCESSOR:
Intel Core i3-3220 Dual-Core Processor 3.3 Ghz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155
MOTHERBOARD:

RAM:
Crucial 4GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR3 1333 MT/s (PC3-10600) CL9 Unbuffered UDIMM 240-Pin Desktop Memory Modules
GRAPHICS CARD:

HARD DRIVE:
WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX

POWER SUPPLY:

I know i need more parts, but i wanted to start somewhere. Remember! This is my first time and i have only done a bit of research. Everything here is just my educated guess.
Please and thank you for the help!
