Both are equally bad IMO. G is micro-atx, and has a version with and without wifi/bluetooth. The F model also has this but with wifi/bluetooth it's the strix G. (Edit: No, it's the strix E)

There are some differences when it comes to USB ports, the F model has more of them, but no USB-C. Also the F has a m.2 heatsink.

Both have the same 4-phase Vcore VRM, which is not suitable for 24/7 overclocking. So if you care about overclocking, look for something with better VRM. If not, go ahead.

EDIT2: Oh, and the G doesn't have any RGB headers. The F has 3, two standard 12V and one adressable RGB header.

EDIT3: And of course, the G has fewer fan headers.

For stock operation, mostly yes. But because brands believe it's easier to sell looks than performance, mid-priced boards have more bling than performance. An oc'd 8700K can draw 250w. Most z370 boards aren't able to handle that under normal circumstances.

Could you link me a web shop where you'd likely buy it from? Not sure which country you're from.
