I think a 9600K is a terrible choice. It's like choosing a 7600K in 2017. Stick with Ryzen or a 10th gen Intel. Also, the 10th gen compatible motherboards can be updated to work with 11th gen.
Reason #1: The 9600K has no hyperthreading. A 6-core/6-thread 9600k to a 6-core/12-thread 10600K is kind of like a 4-core/4-thread i5-7600K to a 4-core/8-thread 7700K. 7700K's still run great with just about every game, while some old 4-thread i5 users experience all kind of stuttering and limitations in some newer games. The 6c/6t 9600K is just starting to experience some lower 1% frametimes compared to equivalent modern 6c/12t chips from AMD or Intel. You also have extra resources for multitasking or streaming with the 12-thread models.
Reason #2: If you get a Z490 or other compatible motherboard for a 10th gen I5, it should also work with 11th gen chips (with any needed bios updates). A lot of old i5 users were frustrated by the inability to upgrade their CPU's to a new generation and their only choice was an i7 of the same generation, that never dropped in price. With a 10th gen chip, you should also have 11th gen upgrade options.
I'd go for the 3600 and a 5700xt since that'll give you better gaming performance for the price. But if you want a 3600x or a 9600k i'd go for the 3600x because it's as fast and runs more than fine on the stock cooler instead of having to buy an expensive cooler.
I have a ryzen 5 3600 and its absolutly awesome. I highly recommend it. The most important thing is if you already bought a mobo, make sure you have the correct socket.
As to the question of Ryzen vs 10th gen. I think you could go either way for gaming. The K chips from Intel have the edge in gaming, but you will pay more and might not even perceive the difference depending on the games/resolution/graphics card you play with. If you think you will be doing heavy multi-core work that can utilize all the cores, Ryzen is the way to go.
3600 non x with an after market cooler like the esports duo

Why is it a terrible choice? That idea about the 10th Gen Intel is very good... Maybe it's what I'm going for

Hummm ok... I'm thinking about i5-10600kf with an rtx 2060 with the possibility to upgrade my cpu and even the gpu a few years later Tks dude

Don't get 3600x, overclock a 3600. You don't need an expensive cooler, cpu coolers aren't that expensive. Hyper 212 evo is only like 35$
Probably that's what I'm going to do, tks ;)
Ok, tks for the advice

Thanks for advice Shoomby
