As for the video card you should get for your new PC:



If you choose a Geforce card, choose from either the 9600 GT to the 9800 GTX (either of these card will handle sims 3 -- if you plan to play other games with prettier graphics you will need a GTX 260 at minimum)



If you choose a radeon, choose from either the 4850 or 4770.|||This will probably be your best bet:
