So can I get opinions on any cons with playing Sims 3 on this desktop? I know it's overkill for Sims 3 and overpriced due to the name as well probably but ...

I trusted him rather fast because he did a small rant on EA trying to force Sims 3 players to upgrade to Origin and Sims 4, which I totally agreed with. Thanks so much for the advice, igazor.
