Is it worth it for the price?

I need it for school mainly, but I would like to install my Sims 2 game along with all the expansion packs if possible. Is the graphics card capable of running this game? Would it work for the upcoming Sims 3 game?

Also, if you have any laptops to recommend, that would be great! I am looking for a 13 – 14 inch laptop under $ 900.

A 250 Gb hard drive may be overkill if you dont install tons of games, videos/video clips, mp3s.

I have a 200Gb hard drive, and I used less than 80 even after installing my games and things (inluding 3000+ mp3s)
