Will the Sims 3 work with these graphics cards?

Hi, I'm buying a new mac, since I've got an ancient black macbook, and I'd like to know if The Sims 3 will be decently playable on either of these machines.

the first choice is http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD101LL/A/refurb... it's got an Intel HD Graphics 4000 card

or this iMac

http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC812LL/A it has an AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512 MB memory

I need help in deciding...I know that I can record music with either (main reason for new mac), but I'd also like to be able to play The Sims 3 and expansion packs.

Thank you!

    Then I suggest you ask someone who knows computers.

    Macs aren't exactly supposed to be used for gaming but i will tell you one thing. The Intel HD Graphics 4000 card is an integrated Graphics card which is integrated in it's processor, i think the processor is good enough but i think you should give it a try still.

    If you are scared of spending your money, then you might aswell try a demo or crack the game from a torrent website and test it out for yourself. But i don't think that the cracks will apply to Mac.
