@Tasha79 - The GTX 1050 should carry the entire game (all expansions) but on mostly medium graphics settings within Game Options. Higher settings than that might cause it to struggle. Players' experiences will vary. Within that series a 1050Ti or 1060 would be a step up as would the cards in the newer 1660 series.
The SSD on that unit is too small to carry Windows and the game very well, so as mentioned TS3 would have to be installed on the HDD. That's not fatal, but TS3 happens to be a game that can benefit from being run from an SSD with respect to startup and save times, caching, world travel transitions, and CAS category, Build/Buy, and CASt Pattern loading times. An SSD that is at least 512 GB would be ideal, but many can get away with 256 GB if they pay attention to drive space usage and don't overload things.
