Graphics Card Help!!

[Kiss of Color]

I hope this is in the right fourm...
So, my computer basically refuses to play the Sims 3 anymore. It's a 2004 Gateway, and it sucks. So, my family and I are looking into buying a new tower and graphics card.

So, I was wondering what computer towers and graphics card you guys use to make your sims run perfectly and smoothly!

Hmm, you'd probably be better off asking somewhere like MTS for this sort of thing.
I know virtually nothing about the inner workings of computers and I play The Sims 3 on a laptop so I don't think I'll be much help.
All I do know though is that getting the absolute latest version of a graphics card isn't always the best idea. Go with an established version if you can.
