Laptop to run these games?

I need a new laptop (can't be desktop) and I'd like to be able to play these games on it:

Age of Mythology Extended Edition
Alice: Madness Returns
The Sims 3 (4 eventually)
Minecraft

I'm looking at these:

But I recently read that Acer isn't great quality. I'd like this to last a few years.

I've looked at the recommended requirements of some of these games, and I don't think they take much, but I'd like someone who hopefully knows what they're talking about to help me if they can.

I'd prefer not to spend over $600, but am willing to go up to $800 if I need to. I realize that most "gaming" laptops cost much more, but I don't think I need something that intense for these games. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Thank you to anyone who can help, I appreciate your time!

Added (1). Also, this computer is mainly going to be used for homework, internet, and word processing. I just want it to be capable of playing these games well.
