$220 on 16GB RAM why?
Not sure I'd get an 8700k. Probably Ryzen or 9700k.
Why mATX motherboard? Also if Wi-Fi is a necessity, might as well go with a Z390 chipset motherboard- most of 'em have integrated Wi-Fi.
Also I'd spend the extra $10 for the 850G3 over the 850GQ.

I was either going to get that ram or this much slower

I`m hoping to get this in around 2 weeks and if the 9700k is in stock ill get it instead

As for the motherboard i was just trying to find one that supports the ram speed and the processor but it was more expensive than i had hoped for. I don`t use wifi at all. all consoles and pc will forever be wired did not know it even had wifi was just looking at ram specs and processor specs to see if they matched. Didnt know the 850GQ existed im on amazon did a search and im not picking about the power supply i just don`t want a bad one. This is not my first pc but mines is dying right now and i need a new one im on a cheap motherboard and 8gbs of ddr3 @700mhz and i just don`t want to cheap out on any parts esp since next year im getting a 2080TI

3000/3200MHz RAM isn't exactly slow. You won't notice much, if any difference with 3600MHz in most situations. Definitely not $70+ worth of difference.

The 8700k might still be a better choice than the 9700k depending on your use case, but I'd definitely consider the 9700k as it might make more sense.
