The specs look like they'll be able to run it fine, but i would go with intel over AMD. I'd also probably go with 16 GB ram instead of 8.

I be playing Socom 1,Socom 2,3 Combine Assault,
expect a few slowdowns, and don't push internal res too high, but yes, it should work

I don't think so

No. RAM isn't a determining factor in PS2 emulation

overclocking a laptop CPU ???

do what you want, but i personnally wouldn't recommand it

SOCOM hits my rig hard enough that even I drop below 60fps at times when running above 2x native.

The i5 3470 is out of the box faster then the Ryzen in single threaded workloads (which is important in emultion), but with a decent overclock on the Ryzen 1400 it can be faster. Is the extra performance you can get out of the Ryzen worth basically the cost you are paying for the i5 (or really close to the cost at least)? That is really up to you.
On the GPU side the RX560 is a much much much better card then the GT 1030. Even if it was the cutdown version of the RX560 (which it is not) you are still looking at between 60% to 100% performance increase with the RX560 in native PC gaming. The DDR4 version of the 1030 would perform much worse (luckily this is not that horrible card). As far as PCSX2 goes in OpenGL... it would be closer in performance but the raw performance of the RX560 should make up for the lously OpenGL support from AMD. Again whether or not this difference is worth $231 more over the $268 i5\gt1030 is up to you.
Basically both computers are decent. Neither will play every PS2 game that PCSX2 can run at 4x locked 60fps. You will have to make compromises in enhancements on both computers and some games will not run well on both systems. If you overclock the Ryzen\RX560 pc and stick to the DirectX 11 backend unless you need to run OpenGL to fix a specific game (there are some that need OpenGL or software to look "right") then it should run more games and at better settings then the i5\gt1030 pc. Is it nearly twice as good... no. So is it worth nearly twice the price.... that is what you will habe to answer for yourself.

TK.. What type of OC's are you seeing on ryzens? I'm seeing folks max out at 4.1/4.2. That should put its stp in roughly the 2150-2200 range..
My TR is supposedly in the top 2% binned.. and I max out at 4.1.. and that is really pushing the cooling capability in my case with the enermax. (2100 at 4.0)
