TS3 Compatible Laptop or Desktop on a Budget

Hi everyone! After quite a few years of The Sims, GTA and countless replays of the Life is Strange series, my good old gaming laptop is reaching the end of her lifespan (many issues, including a messed up graphics card, a part of my keyboard is completely dead and requires me to copy and paste letters, my speakers haven't worked in almost a year, countless hardware issues and just the fact that she's gotten very, very old and is standing on her last legs). While I was very interested in this desktop at first, it's simply out of my budget right now with COVID and job hunting and whatnot. I also need this for classes and as my laptop fails to do basic things more and more often, I'm getting a little desperate and running out of time.

I don't want to set a specific budget, but anything under $1000 USD is what I'm looking for; the cheaper, the better, but I understand that you get what you pay for. Any advice for computers suggested (or how I can prolong this laptop's life a little longer) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)
