Worth getting k series b460 I ?

Right off the assembly line
I recently got my hands on a asus rog strix b460-i gaming motherboard and I was wanting to put an i7 in it but I was wondering if it's worth it getting an i7 10700k or just get the non unlocked i7 10700? Or is an i7 to much for the mobo. Or If any one has any recommendations for which chip is a better pair for this mobo.

Get a B560 mobo + i7 10700. Without power limits in place, 10700 will be maybe 5% inferior to i7 10700K, provided mobo can handle it & cooler as well. Intel's stock cooler can handle like 90W, but i7 10700 will draw like 140W or more on full load w/o power limit.

B560 will allow XMP (vs 2933MHz cap for B460) & has bit better VRMs.

The i7 10700 will draw a bit less power than 11700 but that graph is the one you should see. Get a B560 above AsRock B560 Pro4, like TUF B560 or MSI B560M Pro VDH WiFi.

If you already have that B460 mobo, settle with i5 10400 to be safe. Not sure of its VRM performance, but i5 10400 consumes 90-100W on full load, I think, lower than 125W of 11400.
