Hello!

 

Ok so I want to build a PC for my girlfriend for our anniversary so she can play some games. Mainly Garry's Mod and The Sims 4.

Right now she's playing these games on her MacBook Air (yeah...), so I would like the best price/performance ratio that could get decent FPS.

I already have a i3-4160 @ 3,6Ghz but I don't know if it's good enough.

The PC needs to be ITX size.

 

Thank you!

Canada

I already have all peripherals

Already have Win10 

For budget I don't really know honestly since it's mainly for these games, browsing and working.
