Will this run sims 3 and expansion packs well?

I have had 2 of these machines, but neither of them lasted long enough for me to find out. The first machine lasted about one month, the second 5 days. It seems Dell has a problem with a batch of motherboards supplied by Intel, and both the machines I bought were affected despite being sourced from different suppliers. My advice is look for something else. I hope this helps.

So far, it's ran everything that I've thrown at it on ultra settings. It should definitely be able to run those games on atleast high. Good luck!

It will run for a low settings. But you can always upgrade to a higher graphic card in the future.

that is what I have and it works beautifully. Just remember the system requirements for this including i7, big graphics card, etc.

Depends. If your looking at as is only simple games will run. If you go. With this PC, make sure you get a good graphics card and maybe upgrade the memory. To play the newer games, it will be a must to upgrade the graphics card. Hope this helps.

It will run any modern games, and probably well. Though you might not be able to max out the settings depending on the game. Of course, it is very upgradable, and you could always just put in a new power supply and graphics card.

Based on it's specs, it should be able to run Minecraft. Functional mods shouldn't present a problem, but don't expect to be able to use the mods that add shaders and make Minecraft look incredible. Even my laptop with a dedicated graphics card has trouble with those.

This graphics card and your RAM is definitely enough, but you'll probably want to bump up to 3.8+ghz to have the game running smoothly, although I'm pretty sure you'll be able to run them on medium or low lettings without issue.

hi. yes, it will work as long as you have the latest version of the sims 3. so update the game first before playing.

7 ultimate x64 should be just fine. Make sure its updated to Power Pack 3 (on the server). I have zero problems.

I have this computer and it can pretty much play anything you want, I haven't found a game yet that it can't run smoothly, hope this helps.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

No just the APU, but that's more than enough for most games I've thrown at it. EVE Online, GW 2, and WoT all run great.

Not at all. It uses PCI 2.1 so make sure your motherboard provides that. It runs super cool!

it should run just fine, as long as you have at least a 300 watt power supply and a 16X pcie slot. it will be a slight upgrade, not a ,major boost.

I'm afraid not. The technology in this computer is too old unfortunately. I bought one specifically to run older games and software.

It should run fine. But check and make sure it will with everything else on your PC.
