What CPU can I use with the AsRock FM2A68M-DG3+ motherboard?

I wanted to buy either Intel Core i7 8700k but not sure if it will be compatible.

I went on it and put my Motherboard on there but when I go to CPU, Intel core wont be highlighted, Does that mean its not compatible?

That motherboard is for AMD only. As chipkost says FM2 only. If you want an 8700k you will be best to get a Z370/Z390 motherboard. You will also need to change your RAM as the board you have will only have DDR3. New boards all take DDR4.
