If you did want a laptop I would totally snag this or this. Both have enough hardware to play current AAA titles and will last for a few years for sure
If you do want to part out a PC to build Amazon might not be the most cost effective so check a bunch of different sites to make sure before pulling the trigger (including microcenter if there's one near you). Here's a decent start list though:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 $199.99
GPU: Zotac RTX 2070 $556.43
Mobo: Gigabyte x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming $124.90
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz $69.99
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo m.2 nvme 500GB for OS/select programs $89.99
2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHDD for library storage, if necessary $59.99
PSU: EVGA 650W, 80 plus gold rated fully modular PSU $97.06
OS: [OEM Win10](https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Home-English-Language-Product/dp/B07TW6G6JP/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=windows+10&qid=1563210474&s=gateway&sr=8-7]. $72.00 Not need if you already have. Pretty sure you can get even cheaper OEM copies out there. Or y'know, other means. Or Linux, etc
Total: $1270.35 including the OEM Win10 which you may or may not need
Missing items: monitor, mouse, keyboard, case. Compared to the prebuilt at $1499.99 that leaves you $229.64 to get a case & any necessary peripherals, upgrade any items on the list, or just pocket the 'savings'
The ibuypower one linked doesn't appear to be that bad. But when reading the comments there are people who got the 8700k version for $1350 (currently $1433, one you linked "on sale" for 1499.99)...so pricing might be misleading. Also keep in mind SI's need to make a profit and usually skimp when it comes to things like cooling, storage and motherboards. I can't tell what mobo that has, but it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you want to overclock, probably not as good components and features as what I listed though. The cooling is actually pretty nice with the cpu watercooling at that price. But not sure on how it is for the other components (ie system case fans). The storage is a bit shit, with a smaller sata ssd and a smaller much slower mechanical hdd. The RAM isn't much better, going off amazon reviews it's basically no name ram at 2666mhz. Also they use a generic 600W psu and apparently the included mouse and keyboard stink. So gotta take the good with the bad but the one I price out looks like a much better option across the board and leaves you room to pick and choose certain upgrades n such
what you think about this combination?

I basically need this portable memory for my study , so I will be able to move it from place to place, I do not use a laptop because of this I need to buy this memory.
Anyway, on my motherboard there is only a USB 3.1 connection and that's why I do not know what to go for
If really go for a faster connection of 3.2 and maybe it will either serve me in the future or compromise on 3.1
Samsung for Speed but Little expensive and then WD for Cost to performance
