I began searching online for a CPU and ended up really liking the i5 10600k. Now I’m wondering if there’s a better option that can outperform it at a similar price. Also, I want to know whether a Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro or LXP works well with this chip.

Currently, the answer is no. Regarding memory, it's okay—RAM is affordable, and upgrading to faster types makes sense since Intel CPUs benefit from it.

Yes, 3200 MHz is quite high and may not be sufficient for all applications.

It's okay – I've been using 3200MHz CL16 and it's been a bit slower. A faster setup would be better.
