You get almost no extra performance with the 9600k (between -2% and +2% depending on the application).... I would take the 8600k. 390 chipset works for 9th and 8th generation. You can take an i7 if you want, but it's not crucial for most games. For video editing, etc.. an i7 could still make sense under certain circumstances.

Wrote to support yesterday about it, as I pre-ordered it. At the moment they effectively can't say anything more than it says on delivery. "At the moment we have no information on the delivery date. We will publish this as soon as possible."

For each mainboard, the manufacturer provides a list of all CPUs that are supported by this board. If the CPU is not in the list, it will not work.

This CPU is not compatible with your mainboard. At least a 300 chipset is required, e.g. Z390 or Z370 with BIOS update. Please refer to the CPU compatibility list on the manufacturer's page of the mainboard. It basically depends on the games. At higher resolutions, the CPU is also less of a factor. In my opinion, it is more a question of whether the few FPS (max. 10%) are worth it to you or not.

Personally I would go for an RTX 2060 or if you have a 4K screen I would even go for the Super so you have the 8GB memory (The MSI RTX 2060 Super Gaming is on discount right now). As for the memory, I wonder if 16Gb is enough for you, for gaming 16Gb is always enough. You could take these (Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3000, DIMM 288)). I would recommend a motherboard with a Z390 socket. This allows overclocking of the CPU and also has other advantages. Here is an article on this topic. I could recommend you this motherboard. MSI MPG Z390I Gaming Edge AC (LGA 1151, Intel Z390, Mini ITX). This would be cheaper and has the better socket. You also don't have any memory yet. I can only recommend that you buy an SSD.
