Definitely needs a lot more questions like what kind of budget are you looking at? $750? $1000? $1500?

As for storage that's one thing that always varies from user to user. I typically find that a 1 or 2TB storage drive works for most people on top of a ~250GB storage drive for the operating system.

While it's nice to have the OS on an SSD (say 256GB, avoid 120/128GB if budget allows), that just gives you faster boot and general performance. Most aspects of gaming are just as good from a HDD, say a WD Black.

Prebuilt or are you willing to build?

Have you already set a budget and/or selected any components yet? I'll send one of our gaming build specialists to give you some advice -- in the meantime please provide a budget and any details of specific stuff you have or are looking at already. Thanks and welcome to Tom's Hardware.
