Kurdistan (it's a region in Iraq the same currency as Iraq)

[wanna play insomniac spiderman games, red dead redemption (1,2) , ghost of Tsushima, some other similar games at 60+fps (high graphic quality)
and competitive games like Fortnite (120+ fps with good graphics)
and minecraft at a good playable state when playing modpacks
also some video editing (not too much going all in but i wanna have it decent)
And yeah coding too if that matters
* **Desired battery life**
More than ~7hours is pretty good imo
But 6 is like fine i guess
* **Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life**
most important is performance then battery life then weight
i wanna play games on it at home with good performance while being able to use it at University and carry it around while it not being much of a hassle to carry around and good battery life so it don't die quick while outside if that makes sense
* **Info/Requirements** 120hz or 144hz
screen resolution 1440p or 1080p if the budget won't allow
i want it to have 16gb ram ? I heard it's the minimum for my preference
also don't want it to scream gaming and also I want to have it for a couple of years don't want it to deteriorate after like a year of use
