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?

Yes, get the version of the case that will support ATX

Ryzen 3700 may not be available right now. Ryzen 3800x the faster clocked equivalent is available and provides a slight increase in performance. For future proofing either would be suitable.
Bonus points no need to get another heatsink for it when running stock.
available motherboards are also ok for running stock.
ryzen 3600 does show benefits of 3200mhz ram.
video card is a problem as the x060 part will usually give the equivalent performance of the x070 part of the previous generation.
2060 ko will run COD MW with ray tracing 1080p 60fps. however it's kind of a dicey proposition to think it will run the following equivalent graphics at full on 1080p 60fps. maybe the gigabyte 2070 for 570$.
processor wise it's kind of difficult to justify 9600k as 9400 will perform just as close, in gaming (consider that ai turn time for a 9400 is just .09 seconds slower than a 9600k in civ 6)
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews...k-cpu-review/3 ignore the fact that the graphic card is a 2080ti used but the performance metrics are pretty close especially at 1080p, with none of the frames dipping into slide show territory (except maybe ashes of the singularity but that's an rts and won't be weighted for this value proposition)
