Approximate Purchase Date: Next week (but can wait for a month as well if sth awesome is coming soon)

Monitor: Planning to get this monitor (Samsung LC32JG54QQEXXT) (not included in this budget) - any other suggestions(<10K THB (~320 USD))???
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Banana, InvadeIT, JIB, Lazada
Location: Thailand
Overclocking : Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 2k @ 144hz
Additional comments: (Don't really have any parts but the above budget is for PC alone, Currently have work laptop (Asus ROG GL503G) and use it for everything, Planning to buy next week (or can wait for a month / 2).
This is my planned setup:
CPU: i5 10600 / i5 10600KF. Really confused here as I've never really overclocked a CPU, don't really know if I need it. Is if safe to take K series anyway, considering I can OC it later if needed? Also the normal version needs like 65W whereas 10600k needs 125W power. Does it increase considerable amount of electricity charge (if I use it roughly for 5-6 hours daily)?
Mother Board: Asus / MSI ? I've chosen MSI Z490 - A Pro (just for rough estimation). Should I go with ASUS instead (I really like their BIOS)? Any suggestion with similar pricing (need to support RAM below)?
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 Gb 3200 MHz. (Or should I go with 2666 / 3600 MHz?) I've seen a Linus video where he tells anything more than 3200 is a waste of money and it doesn't really make a difference but the video is from 2017. Is it still the same? Or should I use 3600 MHz? Suggestions please... Also, will update it after sometime with 32 GBs.
PSU: Corsair CV650 (80+ Bronze)
Case: Cooler Master MB511
SSD: WD 500 GB (SN550 NVME)
GPU: 1650 super (used) (~4k THB). Anything better at similar price?
I'm really confused with CPU and RAM here. Should I go with i5 10600KF (as it costs almost as same as 10600)? Does RAM speed (more than 2666 / 3200 MHz) matter now?
I really don't plan on upgrading my CPU for at least next 2-3 years, so really want to stick with proper one here. If you're going to suggest Ryzen, It costs same as Intel here in Thailand, so I see no advantage. Thank you in advance
