Question on laptop selection!

Hi everyone -

I joined this forum specifically to ask this question since I am completely useless when it comes to pick out a laptop or even know what to look for. I work from home full time and have a work computer that I use for most of my browsing and my fiancee has an old (I believe over 7 years old) laptop from HP that is pretty much useless at this stage.

Anyway - Valentine's Day is coming and my fiancee's birthday is a week after that so I was looking into possibly getting her a laptop that would be used mostly to play Sims 4 (which I would also be purchasing for her). After some Googling I became totally overwhelmed and am turning to some experts :)

Does anyone have anything affordable that they could recommend that wouldn't have an issue running Sims 4? This would by far be the most taxing thing this laptop would be used for. I'm definitely looking for a laptop and definitely looking to stay below $1,000 (really <$800 is what I'm looking to spend but I'd consider more expensive options).

Thanks in advance everyone - much appreciated!

- Tom
 
As far as laptop goes I'll always recommend Asus or Lenovo.

Now if you need to run a specific game (here The Sims 4) you need to look at the recommended specs of the game in order to run it perfectly. Here they are:

EA Games said:
REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.
OS: 64 Bit Windows 7,8, or 8.1
PROCESSOR: Intel core i5 or faster, AMD Athlon X4
MEMORY: 4GB RAM
HARD DRIVE: At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games
DVD-ROM: DVD ROM drive required for installation only
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GTX 650 or better
SOUND CARD: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
DIRECTX: DirectX 9.0c compatible
INPUT: Keyboard and Mouse

What country are you from so we can look on local websites?

Thanks so much for the response. I'm in the US.

I was actually considering this one but as far as any graphics cards go I'm at a total loss:
