Im looking at building my first PC for light gaming/everyday PC. I'm mostly going to play sports game like Madden, FIFA, F1 racing etc.. I'm really going back and forth between CPU's between i5 12600K, i5 1200F or Ryzen 7 5800x and also between GPU's like GTX 1660 SUPER, RTX 2060 or Radeon 6600/6600XT.

I don't want to go too crazy, but I don't want to regret it down the line for the sakes of a couple hundred bucks. I'm thinking the 12600K might be a little overkill for I'm going to do. Also looking for some recommendation for a motherboard between ATX or Micro ATX.
