This is the most cost effective PC I could come with for people with a relatively limited budget, still allowing to play the most recent games with more than acceptable performance.
Cost could be brought further down with small impact on performance by downgrading the CPU to AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (instead of the X version), Radeon RX 570 (instead of the 580), cheaper motherboard and ram etc.
I would stick with 16GB of RAM and at least 500GB of storage. Mechanical disks (aka HDD/spinners) are best avoided as they will cause a performance hit to your PC.
