Answer» My friend is going to be getting a new PC, and she found ONE she's interested in:
http://www.microcenter.com/product/388471/EL1358G-51W_Desktop_Computer_Refurbished
Here is the info:
"AMD Athlon II X2 220 Dual Core Processor Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) 3GB DDR3-1333 SDRAM 1TB 5,400RPM Hard Drive DVDRW Drive Memory Card Reader NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE 10/100/1000 Network Display Not Included
The REFURBISHED eMachines EL1358G-51W Desktop Computer is the ultimate tiny-but-robust entertainment/task center. This desktop is only one-third the size of a traditional PC, so it can easily fit anywhere in your home or home office, and packs the applications and components you need for excellent all-around performance -- ideal for everyday computing. In addition, the EL Series is easy to use, with buttons, ports and slots positioned in front for quick access."
Is this a good PC? And what I really want to know is: Is this a good PC for a game called The Sims 3? My friend owns all the Sims 3 expansion packs, and stuff packs. Will she be able to run this game on high settings, and will it run smooth?
Info about the Sims 3 (system requirements) :

If you guys have any SUGGESTION on a good PC, at a good price, I'd truly appreciate it the info.
Price range: $210 and down. (On a BUDGET)
I really want to help my friend get a good PC! But it can't be that expensive! Please remember the budget.
Thank you!Additional Note: I would like for her to have a core i5 processor, also I want to make sure she has a good graphics card.
As you can see, I'm really going to need you guys help! If you know where I can get a PC as mention above (core i5 if possible) at a good price ($300 and down) I would truly appreciate the info.
Edited: I've found 3 PC's. Please let me know what you think, and please let me know if they're available at a cheaper price.
