Will the Sims 3 run on this machine?

Looking to buy a new desktop and wanted to know if this would run the sims 3 :

And here is a reference sheet of what cards will run and which ones wont

I saw the Intel hd 530 and wasn't sure if that was the same card listed or not.
Thanks

The intel hd 530 is an integrated graphics controller that is part of the cpu itself. In the reference sheet it is the intel hd 530, not the nvidia 530. So yes it looks like it would run the sims 3. It would run better if you had a dedicated graphics card, you could easily run sims 3 and 4 max settings with that cpu and a gtx 1050.

He could probably max out sims 3 on the intel 530 at even 1080p, that game didn't require much to run if I remember right, it run really well on my Aunts machine back in the day with a ATI x1800xl 256mb card and windows Vista.
