I'm setting up a gaming setup and need advice on choosing a CPU versus another option. I plan to stream Rust, so performance matters. Also, considering GPU prices—should I wait a bit?

It depends on the remaining components and their costs.

Also think about the 3700x. Don't forget the 169 Ryzen 7 2700.

Intel is currently more affordable than AMD in Australia.

Your suggestions seem a bit misleading. A z390 board isn’t necessary for a 9600k and doesn’t require overclocking. You also don’t have to invest heavily in a 212 EVO; several coolers in the $20-30 range can handle it easily.
