Have you looked into EVGA 2060 KO ? It has a TU-104-150 die which is a cutdown 2070/2080 chip. Still the same performance as other 2060s but the workstation/rendering/compute is higher than other 2060's.
I don't know the current status of Kingston SSD's, however using one of their m.2 ssd's as a scratch drive may provide lower performance than higher priced equivalent Western Digital or Samsung M.2 drives.
There is also the question of Terabytes written for the scratch disk as well, as smaller SSD's have fewer cells than larger ones( yes obvious) leading to faster cell death and lower total TBW (terabytes written) than the next size or 1tb size SSDs's. also depending on how fast that scratch disk will be filled will also contribute to SSD wear.
However if it's just for now then upgrade later then that's also a valid strategy.
