    yeah ive been lookin at newegg but im not too good with choosing gfx cards...i got most of the specs down that are required but i still have issues learning good gaming gfx cards.was hoping for maybe like a push in the right direction with those and whatnot.

    I don't think the sims 3 is a particularly graphics intensive game. You'd be fine with any of the Geforce 2xx series cards, or ATI 4xxx series. Just get her a nice dual core system with a dedicated graphics card and you should be ok. On top of that get her a 24" screen and she'll be happy.
