Not much a difference between the two CPU's (I am more knowledgeable with Ryzen so if someone knows better, sorry!) But the Meshify C is an AMAZING case, and the 4000D is also pretty good. I would go with one of those. (Your English is great!)

the 10600k is an overclockable chip, the 10400f is a locked one. so do you plan on doing any overclocking? the z490 board supports it, so if you plan on overclocking, take the 10600K if you want to overclock, and if you don't plan on overclocking, I'd save a few bucks and choose a motherboard that doesnt support overclocking and use that saved money or more storage or graphics card upgrade.
