I'd recommend getting 32GB of DDR4-3600 Corsair Vengence, when It comes to game development, you'll need a lot of RAM.

that's the only reason why office PCs game so poorly, of course it's important.

Large capacity yes, SATA is fine, but QLC + DRAM-less makes it really slow. It's a good replacement for a hard drive for mid-term storage, not a good boot drive.
