Yeah that game is a pretty heavy load, especially as your city grows. I have a Xeon 1231v3 @ 3.4ghz 8gb of RAM and a GTX 970 video card and I can only play smoothly on mostly high settings. And I can feel it start to sow down and stutter once I start to reach a population of around 50,000

You should probably give your boss a heads up not to expect any actual work from you today.

Cryptocurrency mining means graphics card pricing is in crazy town, and RAM prices are also high (yay oligopolies and cartel behaviour). Lots of great kit available, but bargains few and far between in graphics and ram

What citizenlambda said. Even low end graphics cards are selling way above MSRP because of mining. And when they get stocked they sell out almost immediately. RAM prices are high as well because of mobile phone demand for more and more RAM.

I have the same CPU and it can play it, sounds like your issue is lack of graphics power.
