Really ask yourself if you need 4K 60hz because it adds complexity to the dock, makes it more expensive, and takes up more power. I had a Cable matters USB-C hub with ethernet, HDMI, 4k60 etc and the HDMI died after a few months.
This little guy (which I bought first when the SD launched) has been going strong and was $20 https://sabrent.com/collections/usb-c-hubs/products/hb-tc5p
I use it on my 4K TV but I have the resolution set to 1080p 60 Hz anyway since the desktop UI is easier to navigate and I don't run my games at that res. So if you don't need 4K60 (which I bet most don't) get a $20 dock like this and upgrade to something fancy later if you really need it.
