Thanks to everyone here for your help! I have a lot to consider here, this is all very confusing! but at least I have somewhere to start now, so thanks!
I'm really not looking for the Best, just something that Works Well. When I say 60fps, I mean at most a fairly steady 60fps, i really don't need or want my games to run any faster. Another reason I'm sticking with Win7 rn is because, for some reason, Dolphin and MelonDS run *significantly better* on it than they do on my Win10 "gaming" laptop, which has higher stats all around. Plus, it's nice to have a Win7 PC in case I want to play any really old games, because I hear Win10 has issues with compatibility. If I really want to play a really new game, I have my Win10 laptop (which can't actually handle Minecraft with shaders either, and perhaps even runs a bit worse).
