New PC coming next week

[HappyThoughts]

Ok here's the scoop, I am currently awaiting a deliverry of a new pc, here are the new spec.'s.  *again I am not trying to brag, I didn't pick this out for myself, my husband did  
ok here's my stupid question, and I'm fully aware the probabilities of recieving stupid answers.  I have all stuff's packs and expansions for sims2 (no want or curiousity towards ts3) and presently have downloaded somewhere around 8gig's of cc awaiting the new pc's arrival (only half of which I have already tested on my husbands old pc) aside from the obvious of how do i keep it organized because thats a headache inside itself, will I ever have to worry about having too much cc with these specifications.  My husband claims I won't have to worry.  Any criticism, advice, insight would help me understand what I should expect and due to keep my game running smoothly.

I've removed your attached file and posted your specs directly in the body of your post. We have attachments enabled in this section because, from time to time, it's necessary for people to share the contents of an error log. They contain a huge amount of data that is useful for only a few people and a downright nuisance for everyone else to scroll through. Error logs are the only files we allow to be attached in this section, as it states in this post right here (in which I admittedly added a clarifying sentence to).


Now, your computer looks like it will run your game just fine. That looks like a nice machine!  Congrats!

Nice, but the Radeon HD 5450 is not a gaming card. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5450,2549-13.html

While it's not a gaming card capable of supporting MMORPGs and FPSs, it should handle TS2 just fine.

are you kidding me about the card??? now let me check and make sure I didnt copy paste the info/#'s down right (also caffeinated.joy-I tried to type it all into the page but for some odd reason it kept acting like I had ran out of space, so sorry yet again)  ok I rechecked the spec.s it would seem either my husband is trying to pull a fast one on me cuz his new pc is ordered with >>

which is what I SHOULD have had on my order.  Hopefully this is a mistake on his end and not something he was hoping I wouldnt notice.  Thank you for the feedback or I may never have noticed.  Ok I just researched the card he bought me, it would seem he wants me to throw him out of the house.  thanks for the heads up.

HappyThoughts, it really depends upon what you want to do with your computer and what performance you want out of it. If you're looking for a good video card to play a lot graphically demanding MMORPGs  and such, then you probably won't be happy. If you're looking for something to just play the Sims and similar games, you should be fine.

Ok final update on the 'new pc' debacle. (I love that word)  It would seem neither of our newly orderred pc's have a graphics card worth a dime.  Meaning for the games we play and have just recently purchased.  I continued to research whats the best bang for our buck and was happy to settle for the cheaper ati radeon 5770.  Once my husband started researching (we were up till 6 looking thru these cards lol) He wasn't satisfied with that either, and orderred the 5850, a bit of an overkill in my opinion for the price.  I'll be using his duel 5570's until we can afford to pick up a second one.  I don't even begin to pretend I know a fraction about pc's and their components, so I'm just going to be Happy like my name implies and be grateful for having a pc , one out my now 3 that wont make beeping sounds or scream and shutoff on its own.  Thanks for everyone's help, and caffeinated.joy for her patience, I really don't try to be troublesome it just kinda happens naturally for me.
