I'd use a ASUS G50vt. I currently have that PC and Sims2 and Sims3 with all the expansions work great. Plus it plays other great games like Alice:Madness Returns. So if you consider this, you can get the PC for a steal on Ebay. And other things.

800 MHz processor
256 MB RAM if Windows XP
At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space
If you have a non-T&L capable video card (such as TNT2, Intel, or Rage for example) then you need at least:
2.0 GHz processor
256 MB RAM if Windows XP
128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space

you seem to have used to term "best" rather loosely. So I went in terms of being able to play it on higher graphic settings and not costing an arm and a leg considering the specs. Here you are!
