Can this pc run the Sims 4

I'm planning on buying this pc, is this good enough to run Sims 4 with all its DLC on the highest settings with many mods?

@LlamaMike This computer should run all current and future Sims 4 packs together on ultra settings, with some room to spare. However, I'd at least upgrade the motherboard to a B450 model. The cheapest upgrade, +£12 for an Asus Prime B450M-K, is well worth the price just for its M.2 slot, which can support a much faster hard drive than a SATA port. The MSI B450M Pro-VDH (+£18) is a bit better because it has four RAM slots, should you ever want to upgrade the memory.

@LlamaMikeYes. I have almost the exact same set up with the exception of the MB. It plays Sims wonderfully. Only time I have issues is when I set the maximum number of sims on lot to 200 via MOD vs the default 15? 20? EA has it set too. With Sim # 60 showing up to the venue... things can get a little glitchy. Frame rate drops down to about 15-20 FPS and the game starts to chug. Either then that, I love my system. I see your looking at aftermarket cooling for the CPU. The Ryzen 5 runs very hot. Some say its normal, some say not. I don't like the idea of my CPU running 70-85C during game play and looking for better cooling options myself.
