If I was to go with the currys website would it be silly? I just worry about picking the wrong What I mean is, instead of looking at premade options on Currys or the Dell website, you should choose the components you want-processor, graphics card, storage, memory if you're not comfortable installing more yourself-and then find the cheapest option that offers all those components for the cheapest price. I will only ever play the sims on it and checking the internet and watchinf youtube videos every now and again. I just want the best I can get for around £100/£1300 max to enjoy and not worry about slow game or lags. You sound like you know more than I do, Im lost as its alot of money and I love the sims 4. Id rather spend an extra money to prevent worrying it isnt as good/fast as the currys one.

I understand what you mean with going with the one you linked but that was Intel® Core™ i5 9600K which is cheaper than the one I found on the dell website, however I want this PC to last and not have to have issues months or a year or 2 down the road.

Should I not go with the curry website since its a better intel core? The dell website is Intel® Core™ i5 9600K = £1399 The currys website is Intel® Core™ i7-9700 Processor = £1399 The 9600K is borderline worth the price: you won't need if for Sims 4, you probably wouldn't need it for Sims 5 (whenever it shows up), but you might like it for other do you mean by to expensive for the hardware?

So if this is an investment for you, and you want to put off getting a new computer, the upgrade to a 9400 is worth the price. An i3-9100 would also be fine, except you might notice it slowing down in a few years. Sims 4 won't ever use more power than a 9400 has, even if you're browsing the internet and editing your screenshots while playing. So within the Alienware models, the choice seems simple: either spend much less and get a 9400, or spend a little more than that and get a 9600K. An i5-9400 is almost equal to a 3500X, and so much cheaper.

The i5-9600K is as good for gaming as a Ryand much better than a 3500X, and it's cheaper too. This is not the case with the Alienware models I'm looking at. The idea is that you can get the next better AMD processor for the same price or even cheaper than the Intel you were considering, so even without any overclocking, performance is still going to be better. But if your main activity is gaming, those advantages don't matter.ĪMD processors can also be a lot cheaper than Intel, so much so that it's better to buy an AMD even if you don't intend to play with its settings or use it for heavy non-gaming tasks. AMD is also usually better for certain non-gaming tasks like video editing, and in synthetic benchmarks (tests made up to measure performance). Intel is better for average users, as in, people who don't want to mess around with overclocking and other tweaks or who don't want to stay on top of all the little updates AMD releases to try to improve performance, as opposed to Intel CPUs, which generally work as intended right out of the box. The choice between Intel and AMD processors is sometimes complicated. You could instead pay £90 and upgrade the 9400 to a 9600K and get a significantly faster processor (for gaming) than the 3500X. But you'd be paying $150 more for it, with all the other hardware (except for the new case) being the same. For example, the default Ryzen 5 3500X is a bit faster than an Intel i5-9400, maybe a few percentage points depending on the game. The other Alienware you linked on the Dell website, the one with the AMD Ryzen processor, is also more expensive for similar performance. Unless you like the look of the newer Aurora so much better that you're willing to spend over $100 (depending on the exact hardware) just to get the new case, the R8 is still the best option among these.
