What kind of desktop computer do I need for.......?

The Sims 3 and Second Life(online game) to be able to play on it without freezing up and the internet not slowing down? How much memory, gigs and stuff do I need? What's the best brand name? How much would the desktop cost? Where should I get it? If there is anything else I need to know please tell me! Thanks Peeps XD!What kind of desktop computer do I need for.......?
Neither of those are particularly demanding games and a dual-core system with an entry level dedicated graphics solution will be sufficient. Feel free to visit our website for a quote or further information.What kind of desktop computer do I need for.......?
Depending on your budget, you can get a true gaming computer for less than $800. For approximately $800:

Processor - AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE (3.2GHz) - $190

Motherboard - ASUS M4A79XTD - $120 (Crossfire/SLi capable)

Graphics Card - ATi Radeon HD4870 1GB - $150

RAM - 4GB G.Skill DDR3 1333 - $80

Power Supply - 700W OCZ700SXS - $80

Hard Drive - 750GB Samsung - $65

Case - RAIDMAX Sagitta 2 - $80 (or replace with other case you like)

Total price on Newegg.com - $765

This assumes you already have a monitor, if not just add a ~20 inch for about $100.



You can also go cheaper by getting a dual-core, but I'd recommend the above build because it will last for years and play anything out today on high settings. For Sims 3, the system requirements on XP are:

2.0GHz processor

1GB RAM

128MB video card w/Pixel Shader 2.0 support (anything after 2007ish)



For Vista:

2.4GHz processor

1.5GB RAM

128MB video card w/Pixel Shader 2.0 support (anything after 2007ish)



The computer listed above will make this game its ***** and run it no problem on the absolutely highest settings. I'm pretty sure Second Life doesn't have any higher requirements, just Google them if you're curious. Hope this helps, good luck.
