    Will these components be enough to have a good gaming PC?

    To be honest Jacoleo, you really should be considering a platform upgrade. Your machine is simply not going to be able to run modern titles effectively presently and I feel that spending money on RAM for this machine is going to be a waste since you wont be able to use that RAM on a new system...

    Do wireless headphones cause lesser sound quality?

    Actually, the other thing to bear in mind with wireless headphones is that they need to be charged. The battery will wear out eventually, and a lot sooner than the 7 years you've had your previous phones.

    Front USB Type C?

    Well the Asus Rampage VI Extreme has a Type C header on the motherboard. This is an Intel x299 HEDT motherboard that has a LGA2066 Socket for Intel Core i9 CPU's excluding the 9900K since it requires a different socket.

    Will this prevent CPU working? Bent pins!

    I remember a few years ago when I worked at a systems integrator (building a custom project for a client) having to straighten out the pins on a socket 604 Xeon processor a new guy in the office accidentally dropped to the floor. 24 pins were bent on that CPU and it was a painstaking task fixing...
