Looking for a new computer to run The Sims 4

I’m looking to make the switch from Mac to Windows so I’m trying to find something as similar as possible to what I have but will also be able to run The Sims 4 well. I’m currently using the 2023 Mac mini that has been running the game like a dream until I was forced to go from Origin to the EA app… it completely wrecked my game, I’ve given up on trying to fix that and just decided to get a whole new computer. 
So what I’m looking for:

-small pc similar in size to a Mac mini

-can run the sims really well

Nothing too fancy. I’m considering the HP Pro Mini 400 G9, anyone know if that would fit what I’m looking for?

    @AL40491  To be honest, I don't think getting a mini PC that runs Windows is a good idea here.  The EA App for Mac is very new—it was only released to select users two weeks ago—and has its issues, but these should be fixed soon enough.  And Windows PCs as small as a Mac Mini are somewhat expensive, or very underpowered, or both.  The HP you've listed isn't anywhere near your Mac in terms of power and won't run Sims 4 as well even on the highest-spec configuration.  And I haven't seen anything else in the base Mac Mini's performance category for anywhere near its price

    If you'd like to troubleshoot the EA App issues, let me know, or feel free to start a new thread in the EA App Mac forum:
