I'm planning to use my i5 13600KF primarily for gaming, with titles like Arc Raiders and possibly Battlefield 6. I'm wondering if my H610M K motherboard will cause any noticeable performance loss. Should I consider returning it for a different motherboard instead?

If you’re just gaming, the H610M might be okay, but I wouldn’t rely on it long-term. The cooling on that board isn’t the best, and you may run into issues down the line. If you’re planning on switching, consider something like an AM5 setup instead. It could save you some hassle in the future.
Actually, that board does have a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for your GPU and an M.2 slot, so it's not entirely lacking. However, some folks are concerned about its power delivery, especially under load. If you're serious about gaming, you might want to upgrade to a B660 or B760 board for a safer bet.
The H610M isn't really made for a CPU like the 13600KF; it's more geared towards basic office tasks. For gaming, it might not deliver the full potential of your CPU. I'd suggest looking for a motherboard with better power delivery to avoid any issues.
