Pavilion P6-2016 Upgrades

[Daniel Witham]

Hi all, I'm looking to do some upgardes on my HP Pavilion P6-2016. I'd like to at least meet the system requirements for The Sims 4 (according to EA the CPU should be i5-750 or better, and the GPU should be GTX 650 or better)

According to HP's website these are the CPUs compatible with my computer, but I have absolutely NO IDEA how they stack up compared to the i5-750
Core i7-2600
Core i7-2600s
Core i5-2500
Core i5-2500s
Core i5-2500t
Core i5-2400
Core i5-2400s
Core i5-2390t
Core i5-2300
Core i3-2120
Core i3-2100
Core i3-2100t
Core G860
Core G850
Core G630
Core G540
Core G530

As for the GPU, I looked at our local BEst Buy, and they have 2 or 3 video cards available in store, a PNY GT 610 1 Gb and 2 GB models, plus another that is a 700 series, but I forget the exact number.

I recommend going with the i7 2600, because it's only one that can out perform the i5 750.Anything lower and it either can't perform as well or is just plain old bad.
