16GB RAM is plenty for gaming and I don't think you need 2 storage drives, 1TB M.2 is plenty.

This allows for a 2070 SUPER.

Both builds only have bronze PSUs, if your spending 1200 on a PC then it's well worth investing in a decent gold PSU.

This is the absolute minimum I would go with.

This is what I would recomend for just a tenner more.

Is there a reason people recommend the gigabytes 2070 Super and not the 30quid cheaper one?

Better psu. Also changed the SSD to a single 1TB NVMe and added a 1TB HDD for mass storage.

As above you can get away with 16GB Ram for gaming. So unless you need it for programming you could drop it down.
