Here is a $524 Office Build (without storage) that should fit your needs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FliP0x/saved/#view=tMcHWZ
Comes with a 5600G (for display output), 8 GB RAM (enough for office work and some applications), compact case.
For an office, generally a prebuilt will be the easiest option (Dell Optiplex or Lenovo ThinkCentre).
I'm currently writing this from my Office PC, which is a Dell Optiplex 3090, which according to current pricing is starting at $869. There definitely is a benefit of building your own Office PC though:
- Price (~$600 with storage compared to pricing starting at $869 for about the same or even a worse system is a night and day difference)
- Maintenance (Prebuilt Office PCs tend to be built too tightly and will start overheating after a few months of daily use. Maintenance on them isn't as easy as on a regular Desktop PC)
- Make your own (choose the components you want. Prebuilts usually come with Intel, but I prefer Ryzen)

2 sticks per memory channel, no software configuration needed because that's bound by memory traces and you have no control over that.

This platform as a whole only supports dual channel RAM.

2 sticks per channel
Same bandwidth as with 2 sticks just more capacity
And the 3700x only has 2 memory channels
Nothing you can do about that

First channel is 1st and 2nd slot, Second channel is 3rd and 4th slot. That's why you see slot 2 and 4 used the most.

Add a cheap-ish case. You COULD save some money on the PSU, but I'm not comfortable "recommending" PSUs that IMO are either inferior or I don't know enough about the quality of them. Also unless your primary usage is gonna be heavily multi-threaded workloads it should be fine with the 3600X I would think. Your choice of course. Just change anything on there you want really.

Rather than the RTX 2060 an rx 5700 is better than this and does have around the same price, but also competes with the rtx 2060 super in performance.

As requested, 3700X with RTX 2060. Actually with RX5700 XT which has better performance at similar cost.
