New pc

[oliviaajoh]

Hello! I love playing the sims 3 & 4 and im intrested in buying a new computer. I have an early 2015 MacBook Pro and Im not even able to Open the sims 3 anymore since it just says unknown error occurred. It doesnt really hold up my expectacions and it doesnt run the game smoothly at all. I was looking into a Lenovo Legion y520. Im not sure if i want a laptop or a desktop but im posting this in case someone had that computer or if they have any other tips. My budget is around 1100 dollars but if neccesary i can stretch a bit. For that budget i Want to get sscreen and keyboard too. It should be able to run smoothly with sims 3&4 plus all expansions, extra content, some cc and some mods. I live in sweden.
Thanks in advance for answers!
