Assuming you do not want to replace you current mATX case, then, obviously, you'd have to look for Z370 mATX-sized motherboards. This narrows down your selection as there are only several available models that fit that criteria. However, only a couple of such models are highly-recommended considering higher performance specifications. Here are some models to take a closer look at:

Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z370-G-GAMING/
Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WiFi AC) https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z370-G-GAMING-WI-FI-AC/
EVGA Z370 Micro...


do u recommend another motherboard that will work perfectly with i7 8700k?

Some of the other Z370 mATX models are not highly recommended compared to the ones above. The choice of any of the four listed motherboards depend on your specific requirements as to its features, connectivity, and availability/budget.
