What PC below 1000 pounds would you say can run this game smoothly? (I'm after a new PC and I'd like to get one that can run these types of games so thats why I ask)
This should do it

My rig is a Ryzen 5 3400G and I can play the game just fine with the integrated Vega 11 graphics. The Ryzen 7 7735HS is an even better chip with better CPU and better integrated graphics. It should work just fine.
You might have to get a copy of Windows 11 Pro for it. I'm not sure if that comes with it. If it doesn't you can find a new copy of Win 11 Pro on Ebay in the $50 to $60 range. It probably fell off the back of a truck but it should work just fine. I've bought Windows from Ebay before and all that matters is that the product key is valid. Even if the disc or USB is broken you can download the Windows installer for free. You just need a valid key when you do the install.
