Most of your indies on Steam will run on anything remotely modern, even integrated graphics. AMD is easier. RAM costs more than you’d think nowadays but I would still get at minimum 16gigs. Any decent AMD video card will play most AAA’s that are on Steam at 1080p, and I find Steam doesn’t want to ever do 4k anyway, but maybe that’s a quirk of my setup. I’d also get more HDD space than you think you need, ever more games are like 200GB fully installed.
