I'd make sure to get a machine with enough memory (16GB) one or better 2 SSD drives - one for startup and one for the time lapse work folder. A fast CPU with good multi core performance is good too.
The graphics card is not so important, unless you are going for a 4K monitor (in my opinion not really necessary).

The bottleneck in the workflow is definitely Lightroom. But unfortunately there is only so much you can do to speed that up...
