i dont know where you are located but this is the "Best" board on the market for that CPU - https://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-z390-rog-maximus-xi-extreme-lga-1151-ddr4-eatx-motherboard?gclid=Cj0KCQiA7IDiBRCLARIsABIPohj7yLSq05od_D8Bplp5RO79nkVzotm6KXuA_uRqweq25ipey7WCEyEaAoLPEALw_wcB

... any Z390 will be fine unless you want to push high OC. Recommend any in the 175 range for normal use (minor OC).

Wouldn’t recommend a 9600k in most situations as BFV will already saturate all six cores. 9700k or 8700k will give your system longer legs.
