Will the sims 3 work on the PC i want to get?

I've been looking into desktop PCs and I've found a HP one I like but I can't work out if I'll be able to get the sims to work on it, I don't want to order it only not to be able to play sims on it. Here are the details of the PC:

Operating system: Windows 11 (64 bit)

Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-12400 Processor, Hexa-core, 2.5 GHz / 4.4 GHz, 18 MB cache

Graphics card: Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics 730

RAM: 8GB

Storage: 512 GB SSD

Motherboard: Intel® ADL H670

I keep finding advice on good laptops for Sims 3 but not desktops so literally any advice would be really helpful! If this PC won't support the game what other desktops could?

  • @Beth2467  This computer would probably run Sims 3 okay, but probably not on ultra graphics settings.  The issue is a lack of a dedicated graphics card; the integrated graphics chip is faster than ones from older generations but still not nearly as fast as a discrete GPU.

    If you'd like help finding something in your price range, feel free to ask.  I'd just need to know your budget and country as well as any other considerations that matter to you.
