I do understand that what's awesome today won't be tomorrow but honestly I'd like a bit more longevity than 5 months. I'd like to be able to run max settings on games for I think a year would be a realistic time frame in my budget.
I do enjoy fps games like Destiny 2 and Cod. I also like games like the GTA V and sim games. I would also be doing some simple picture editing, nothing approaching a pro scale, just family things. I'd like it to last a year or so before I'm wanting to upgrade something minor and maybe last 2 years before I want to upgrade a major component of it.
I'm a console guy, what's a frame rate? Should not be too difficult to wow me.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what a Frame rate is. You have to see it for yourself.

is space a consideration? in general a computer with a full size atx board will give lots more pathways for upgrades and durability than micro-ATX or mini-ATX builds.
I also saw that the board picked has bluetooth and wireless lan. are those a requirement? going to use a ps4 /ps3 controller with it? where it's going not going to have an ethernet cable plug?
also ram speed benefits are lower/nonexistent with intel and 2666mhz ram is fine for the board and cpu vs any performance gains with 3200mhz as the computer is limited by the GPU.
9600k should be for full size atx with overclocking capable chipset. with the picked motherboard 9600k may not be able to reach listed boost clocks. (this is according to the review of the board on memory express's site.) 9400 may be more suitable. at 1080p the limitation is usually the video card.

it's a hot take. will it be a slide show machine? no, however in all odds a better machine for cheaper can be built in 5 months. will it be able to run the UE5 demo at high/ultra settings 1080p? not likely.
