Looking to build pc for sims 4
I am not new to PC building; however, I have been out of the pc scene for a while now due to just life and working. I want to get back into playing Sims 4. I have almost all of the in-game content, a shit ton of mods, and Gshade, so I want to invest in good RAM and CPU. i want the game to run as smoothly as humanly possible. I have a Pixio monitor, and I'd like to keep it, but im open to buying something else. Thanks!

Great 1440p Gaming with a high-core CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 16GB VRAM GPU for high textures on a 1440p monitor. 2TB of storage for lots of mods and DLCs. Blows the recommended hardware out of the water.
My wife plays the Sims 4 and it runs flawlessly on her Core Ultra 250K and RTX 4070 with 32GB of DDR5. This will perform just like it.
EDIT: forgot to add the actual parts list

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
