If you are OK with a "two cables" solution this works well and it's a lot cheaper: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079H4WTR4
here's one
that's if you wanted up to 4k@60hz so it's expensive.
or this for dual 4k@30hz but every other port under the moon
there's so many docks so it just depends on your needs
There is one from Caldigit, but no additional usb c. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079H4WTR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fHR0DbG3AE574
There are a few Thunderbolt 3 option for 4K60 HDMI (x2), USB-A, Ethernet etc, off a single (USB-C) port like this one from CalDigit:

It costs US$100 but for what it does, it’s a pretty good value.
As the other guy posted, the easiest way is to get a Thunderbolt Dock and connect everything to that one. Here is a good rundown of what's available.

The alternative is to spread the load over the two ports and connect some to each. You could for instance use this one and connect power to the other port:

Or you could get two of my favorite adapters:

(note that that one is only DisplayPort, not HDMI, but your displays support that as well, and it's a better cable type anyway).
Switching between a Mac and a PC is best done with a KVM. If you mean to switch two displays, that gets a little bit more expensive, but not insanely so. That is a separate thing from all the other purchases, though.
