I came on here recently looking for a computer I could play the sims 4 on for less than 700ish $ and someone recommended this https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-790-0050xt-4ab24av-1?intel=8gi5-optane&jumpid=cs_con_nc_ns&utm_medium=cs&utm_source=ga&utm_campaign=INT_CONS_I5_HGM_BR&utm_content=sp&adid=310951600230&addisttype=gpla&4AB24AV_1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5JO-0aDK3wIVlYrICh1G3AGfEAkYASABEgIdsfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds computer for me. I’ve been really busy lately and put off buying it and now it’s 100$ off sale. I was wondering if anyone knows of a computer with the same specs (or better specs) for cheaper? If not I’ll just buy this one.

Which model is the $700 one?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Are you comfortable with building your own? I'm confident that you build a superior machine for cheaper.

Sims 4 is more CPU and memory intensive. If you feel comfortable building your own system @Olivia S. then this one would be more than comparable and could play more than just Sims 4.

I can’t build my own system. I’m a kid and I’m not familiar with building a computer so I would have to ask my parents. They might say yes but I know them and it will never end up getting done.
