Looking to build a mini itx system that will be going in my girlfriends room hooked up to a 1080p tv. It'll be used primarily for her to play the sims 2, 3 and 4 when it comes out.

Priorities are:

1. Small as possible
2. Cheap as possible
3. Max out settings on sims and keep gameplay smooth

I've come up with the attached build (on phone)

No doubt it could be done for cheaper than this but I don't know much about AMD based builds, was toying with the idea of just a 240 gb ssd initially and add 1 tb hdd in a few weeks, will need a wireless card as well

Any reccomendations?

Have you checked that the GPU fits in that case?

Linus has a video on the 250D, seems it'll take most GPU's
