Will this PC I'm building play the Sims 3?

[Jenny]

Looking to play all the sims 3 games on max settings with CC and mods. Along with sims 4 aswell. I expect there still to be lag since well it's the sims 3 but I know the sims 3 can also be quite picky in what they need to play the sims. It's my first time building and I'm planning on playing a lot of other games but mostly worried about if this will play the sims 3 easily.
