Would appreciate the help

In that price range new is out of the question.
Because of the mining craze the video card will eat almost all of your budget.
Sysytem requirements.
OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, x64.
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core.
CPU Speed: 3.3 GHz (Recommended), 2.6 GHz (Minimum)
RAM: 8 GB.
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 / R9 280 X.
VRAM: 2 GB.
Look on craigslist, Ebay ,local want ads etc.... Deals do appear, but the go fast so you have to check daily for a while.

Here's a list of how well that game runs on a variety of laptop GPUs. Looks like you'll be able to run it acceptably at medium settings on a used laptop with a 940MX or 850M. The integrated graphics are still only sufficient to run the game at low, so new laptops are out (unless you can find a good deal on one with a MX150).

Get a desktop, you get more power for your money that way since with laptops you're paying for a screen + battery + compact and more efficient parts that run on lower power since they're trying to improve battery life. I'd say look for something with a gtx 1050 ti and an i5 2nd Gen (i5-2400 or up).

I'd actually say your best option would be to get something like an old Dell Optiplex or HP Elite (Make sure they are MiniTowers and not the small form factor versions or your card won't fit)
Eg: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-OptiPlex-790-MT-i5-3-3Ghz-8GB-RAM-1TB-HD-Win10-Pro-WIFI-90-Warranty/253317246477?hash=item3afae26e0d:g:e3AAAOSwYc5aKGy7
Then put in a GTX 1050 Ti yourself (Make sure it doesn't require a 6 pin PCI-E connector on the top, some models do and some don't)
Eg: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-DisplayPort-128-bit-ZT-P10510A-10L/dp/B01MCU1ERO/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1519177523&sr=1-3&keywords=gtx+1050+ti

Then all you need to do is open up the side of your system, slot the card into the PCI-E x16 (The longest slot normally nearest to your CPU)

The card will normally come with an install CD so you just pop that into the disk tray and install the nvidia drivers, or download them from nvidia's site.

Putting a graphics card into a pci-e slot yourself isn't really high tec, don't overthink it. It'll save you paying probably 50 dollars towards some business man selling overpriced 2nd hand systems.

P.S. I didn't do much digging when looking for these listings so you can probably find similar things for better value. Good Luck!
