Check if using a Z590 with 11600k or similar is necessary. Also, compare the benefits of a 11400f versus a B460 with 1400MB and whether a B560 would be preferable.

I need more details about the comparison—specifically which BIOS version each model supports and how they differ. For a Z590, ensure you use its latest firmware; for a Z490, confirm the current BIOS update is active.

Yes, except for PCIe 4.0, the standard CPU speeds would perform better on a Z590.

B560 enables memory overclocking, which sounds ideal.
