Some advice please

I've been looking at laptops not specified for gaming but also some gaming ones too. Since I'm not always playing games. and have a limited scope of interest. I'm not sure if I want to go in on a gaming laptop as its features might go wasted when I'm not fixated on playing a game all day for weeks. I don't really know what my budget is, but lets say I want to avoid spending anymore than around £700 ($870 ish in dollars)

This is a hp laptop that isn't specific to gaming https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/product.aspx?id=6P0V0EA&opt=ABU&sel=NTB

Having a small amount of knowledge in computer specs, the storage and ryzen processor are just ones I randomly picked. I'm open to change on that. Am I right in saying this one is kind of small though?

And on this link, https://www.currys.co.uk/gaming/pc-gaming/gaming-laptops if you rank it price low to high, the first 3 laptops are ones I've also looked at. But again I don't want to get something overpowered if my commonly played games don't require that much power. I don't work much due to personal reasons so that means I don't earn much either, so I don't want to go too crazy on cost.

I've done a bit of fine tuning with my CC folder. I tend to over organise things and so there was a lot of folders, and I've heard that having lots of sub folders can take up power when loading and playing the game. I've condensed CC into fewer folders and merged files. Turning off other apps whilst playing is something I used to do but forgot, so I've done that again. Playing the game seemed to be a lot less painful in terms of lag, but I haven't played the family I'm most concerned about, which is a huge farmhouse with lots of objects both inside and out, along with 5 sims, a cat, multiple chickens, and a llama. Other families in the save are halfway through Uni terms and I don't want to ruin their progress by leaving them unattended.
