Go with your pc. The b560 motherboard means you won't be able to overclock the i5-10600k which is the main allure of the k variant. I would also probably say try to find a cheaper cooler for your pre-built, a cooler master hyper 212 Evo will do fine for the 10600k even with overclocking. I think you could also probably find a cheaper z490 motherboard, with those downgrades you might be able to get a better GPU, like an RTX 2060 or a gtx 1660 ti, but I'm not sure. (The GPU market is so messed up nowadays.) Hope this helps.

Thank you ! I could only find the hypermaster 212 led for a good price, would that be a good replacement? And also just so i can clear any confusion you meant choose the pc that was in the pc parts website not the prebuilt right?

You want to purchase your RAM/memory in a set (2x8GB) so that it runs in dual channel.

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.
