southern MN | #2 I would look at a business class laptop, not a home or student or such machine.
The business class often cost an extra $100, but they come with less baggage/ junk, and are often set with better components and the parts are matched to each other to preform. Home compiter class machines are sometimes made of left over parts to get rid of just thrown together, and might advertise a very fast processor; but then don’t have a coprocessor or have a cheap slow hard drive that slows everything down, the fast processor is wasted and just a sales gimmick - the entire machine ends up being a clunker.
#1 is kinda tough. Most games now a days are internet based, and take screaming fast graphics processors to keep up. The real gaming nuts end up having the fastest most expensive computer systems, to give them a few 1000ths of a second advantage in their game...... so for the one fairly simple game you mention it doesn’t have to be too fancy, but where does it lead to in a year or two. So it’s difficult to say what direction to follow with this.
