The GTX 1050 is an old and entry-level GPU. You can't upgrade the GPU. But you can add more storage in the future.

Buy a chassis with a better GPU - the best GPU you can afford - and add more storage down the line if you need it.

You told PCS it was for gaming and making games (as well as other uses) and they recommended a Cosmos with a 1050 and spending £400 on SSDs.. that would probably not have been my advice (!)

For gaming, 32gb RAM is pointless. It might have merit for development work, depends on what you're doing I guess.

Something like:
