You're considering the 10900K and need to decide between the Z490-F Gaming and Z490-A models. As a beginner overclocker, you'll want options that support CPU overclocking. For power supply, aim for a PSU rated around 300-350 watts depending on your setup and future upgrades.

Your budget varies a lot—it really depends on what you plan to do. Just turning on mce for overclocking should work fine.

I prefer not to climb too high; my budget is tight, about $2000.

Wait lmao 2000 dollars....for the motherboard alone ? Lol Do you already have the cpu or is this planned ? Because comet lake is not the best and zen 2 has a way better cheaper platform

You use the PC for gaming, coding, video editing, streaming, and 3D modeling, among other things.

I'm familiar with both video editing and gaming, and while the 3900 model performs well for most workstation jobs, the price difference isn't huge in my region.

It depends on your setup—what quality you're aiming for? Are you playing AAA titles or competitive esports games? (Or a mix of both.) Also, what resolution are you using?

After some adjustments, the 3900x will align with the 10900k for gaming and will only limit performance in multi-threaded tasks.

Mainly Fortnite at 144Hz, though it may get tougher soon. Also VR included.
