I have a dell dimension E310 computer that only has integrated graphics on it, so i cant play sims. Can anyone suggest a good graphics card that will allow me to play Sims 3? Also if the psu is an issue i believe i have a 450w one that i could install.
 
Hi dmullen

Please do the following:

  1. Open up your computer and record the make and model number of your PSU.
  2. Provide the service tag number of your machine so I can look it up properly.
  3. What size monitor (resolution) are you planning on gaming with?
  4. What budget do you have?

Edit, if this is your computer then unfortunately there is no upgrade path (no PCIe x 16 slot). Also it would appear that you only have a 230W PSU and as a result that wouldve needed replacing too. Time for a new machine mate.

How much ram his graphics has does not mean it will just work and play smooth.;)

dmullen1994,Whats your budget....you may also need a new power supply aswell,can you take off the side panel from your pc and tell us what it sys on the side of the Power supply?
 
As I said, no PCIe16 slot, so you have no options other than a new setup mate.

You could get a PCI graphics card like this but imo, not worth it.
