Hello Astergo and welcome to SL Forums. You can see SL's system requirements here. 

For your appearance issues:

• Move to a region without lag, or better relog there. Protected lands like Smith, Exeuxoa or Anzere are recommended.  If you can't select a different region, in your log in screen give the command: Menu Me --> Preferences --> General Tab --> Enable "Show on login" --> OK.  After click the down arrow where it says "Start at" and choose <Type region name> --> Smith --> Login.
• Open your inventory type something in search there and wait fetching all your items till the last one. When fetching finishes, try to change outfit choosing choosing one with just the necessary stuff (skin, shape, hair, eyes, pants and shirt) without any attachments. Wait some seconds and rebake your textures with Ctrl+Alt+R. Repeat same process if it is necessary.
• If the problem remains follow the suggestions at the following link: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_​fail They work for all viewers.

For loading issue:

• Try to disable VBO (Menu Me --> Preferences --> Graphics --> Hardware)
• Increase your maximum bandwidth (Preferences --> Setup)
• If nothing works, try a Third-Party Viewer. You can find all of them here. Many residents use Phoenix or Firestorm.

Good luck.
