My 4,5 years old gaming laptop finally died while I was playing Sims. I was expecting it to happen soon and it wasn't really a surprise. 
I needed a new laptop quickly (for other reasons than just gaming) and I had to make a quick decision for buying the new one. I didn't have time to study the requirements fully and I also don't understand very much about computers, so I'm worried I made a bad choice and I want to ask your opinion. I ordered new gaming laptop already and it's supposed to be delivered to me on Monday.
Here's the one I bought:
ASUS TUF GAMING 17 FX706 17,3"
Intel® Core™ i5-11400H processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti
16 GB DDR4 RAM, 1024 GB SSD
Do you think it's enough for playing Sims 4 on ultra graphics?
I know it's much better than my old one but is it good enough to play on ultra? I played with medium graphics on my old one and it was good enough for me, although it was very laggy sometimes. I don't necessarily need ultra graphics, but I'd like to try them if possible. I'm more into smooth gaming without lag and if I need to keep the graphics lower I don't really mind, I'm not high maintenance.
I know I should've bought a desktop computer for gaming, but I need a laptop for other reasons and I'm not going to buy two computers. That's why I chose a laptop.
I can't wait to get the new laptop. I'm going to miss playing during this weekend. I probably have to entertain myself with playing Stardew Valley on my tablet.

Now I just have to wait and when I get the new laptop I need to transfer my saves on it and I'm probably going to mess up something. It always scares me to do it because I'm really bad with computers. I can use them otherwise, but I'm not good with technical stuff or fiddling with game files.
Installing the game and all the packs will probably be the "stormy" part. After that, moving your saves should be relatively 'smooth sailing'.
