It is not and the i7 9700K is arguably a very bad value processor.

 

you'd be better off doing a full thread asking for your alternatives at your price point and the purposes of your PC.

I'm currently using Asus Strix B250-F mobo and I'm planning to upgrade my cpu to i7 9700k is it compatible? 

No, and the current i7/i9 CPUs are very poor value. Consider the 3700X. It's basically all-round better than the 9700K for the same price
