No, it's not necessarily a bad motherboard for the 11700F. Compatibility depends on your specific case and requirements.

This board clearly doesn't meet the requirements, especially with the 11400F and even the 11700F. It's a really poor choice.
I created two new builds. Considering the price variation of around $100 is within range, which seems fine. If the 11400 supports all games at 1080p just like the 11600K, then the 11600K isn't necessary. Go with the 11600K: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kqk7Dc Build with 11400: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VbXZ4d
It highlights a price gap of only $50. If that holds, the 11600K+Z590 combo looks especially appealing. While the 11400 is similar in many cases, the Z590 board offers some platform benefits and delivers slightly better performance. However, if it cost $100 more, I’d likely choose the 11400 instead.
