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.

Nope, size is no issue at all. I would like to use a controller sometimes, I generally gamed on a PS4 so that's where my brain went for a controller.
Sorry if I am not fully understanding ill do a bit of googling tomorrow, because I do want to get this purchase right.
Are you saying I should get a larger case so I can fit a different motherboard in it?
I was considering upgrading to a Ryzen 3700 and a bit better video card.
I get it may not be the best time to buy a computer but I do need something other than a crappy tablet and phone I'm reduced to now. So I'm kinda stuck with the situation so I'm trying to do the best I can for upto $2k (not including a monitor)
