(for everything but Shadow at the Water's Edge I would need an external optical drive)
Bluestacks (an "app") for me to play mobile game

Microsoft Windows 7 and above.
Processor
Intel or AMD Processor.
RAM
At least 4GB of RAM
HDD
5GB Free Disk Space.
Games for Bluestacks (no information given do to the game being mobile/Android only hence this app to play those on PC)
Hogwarts Mystery
Sims Free play
Papa's Mocharia To Go /other gamerias from this series
maybe Criminal Cases series (4 different ones of them).'
Extra:
Photoscape for editing SimLit photos
(No additional requirements) beside the Window 7.8/1)
Adobe Reader for SimLit "news article"
(I did try to narrow it down but for everything but the sims pack the idea works of going with the best for instance I used the information with Bluestacks Bluestacks needs:
Intel or AMD Processor.RAM
At least 4GB of RAM
HDD 5GB Free Disk Space
and I used the last ND game to be able to see what the best requrement is
4 CPU or equivalent class
512 MB of RAM
3GB or more hard drive space)
but the idea doesn't work with Sims 4 since the more packs you have the more RAM you need and that's not even taking into account mods and CC as well)
What is the best computer for me with these various Specs for the games - a gaming one or a different computer?

Whats your budget?
I'd suggest a system with at least 8GB RAM. And you can save money by buying a refurb with a warranty. I picked up a Core i5 4590 with 8GB RAM 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD for $200 each on amazon a few months ago and the Intel HD graphics plays games on normal graphics settings of the list that you have.
A friend of mine wanted to play SIMS 4 and I built her up a computer with Athlon II x4 620 2.6Ghz Quadcore, 4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM, and 128GB SSD C: with 500GB HDD D: and for GPU I had a spare NVidia Quadro K2000 2GB DDR5 video card and it plays SIMS 4 with no issues on normal settings and she has the packs for it. The OS on the system I built for her though is Windows 7 64-bit as for Windows 10 64-bit with 4GB RAM starves games of RAM because Win 10 is memory hungry and best at 8GB or greater RAM to avoid excessive paging.
