Ok guys I am getting ready to build a computer for my wife who plays all the sims and expansion packs like there is no tomorrow. She currently uses a HP with upgraded video card but the game still sometimes freezes so I said what the heck ill build her one. This is my first computer build and I basically only know what video card and Power supply I will be using. The rest is why i am here is to get some advice. Here is what I what I have so far.
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS 2.0 X 16 HDCP READY SLI SUPPORT VIDEO
Power supply:Cooler Master extreme power plus RS-700
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
Hard Drive: Not purchased yet
Operating System: Not purchased yet
Processor: Not purchased yet
Memory (ram): Not purchased yet
Motherboard: Not purchased yet
Below are the minumum system requirements for The Sims 3, which are the same for all The Sims and expansion packs. My question is could anyone recommend what size hard drive, OS, processor, RAM and mother board I could use to get this build started. I dont want to mess up and buy the wrong stuff which is why I am asking for some help with this. I dont care if the processor is AMD or Intell just need to know which one would work with whatever motherboard I end up getting, with the help of you guys maybe I can get this started in the next couple of days. thanks for the help and suggestions.
