Although I'm mostly building this PC for Sims 4 there's a good chance I will be keeping Sims 3+expansions (I have about 5 expansions) on the pc with Sims 4 until I'm ready to unstall it because I may not like Sims 4 lol
So the PC would need to be able to have both games on it and still run smoothly. This computer will only be used for gaming and internet, otherwise I have a laptop for the other stuff.
I don't really play hardcore games just sims and the odd free-to-play MMORPG - think Diablo 3 type graphics.
I don't have experience with building a computer but I have brothers/dad who can help when I need it as they're pretty knowledgeable with this stuff.
Budget: Would like to stay under $600, lower is better if possible.
Don't Need: monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers or OS. I plan to go with windows 7 because I absolutely hate 8 and my dad already has windows 7 so one less thing to pay for.
Other Info: A plus would be a quiet pc, it will be kept in my room so I'd prefer if it wasn't too noisy.
As far as all the other technical stuff I have no idea, this is where I need someone's expertise. Things like graphics cards, motherboard, power supply etc.. that stuff I'm not too familiar with.
Thanks in advance for any help and I can gladly provide more information, just ask because I wasn't sure what else might be important but it's a start!

Sorry guys! I totally forgot to mention I'm from Canada so the prices are different for me. So far this build by filippi comes closest to my price range considering it was american pricing first it's pretty good but a bit lower would be ideal: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2ABnI
