For those boards get a 10900kf. Those are easy overclockers if you have good cooling.
If you are not going to OC memory then you would be wasting money on the Apex .
I would go for the Hero (which I have so I am biased).

If you are not going to overclock you might look at the non-ROG boards.

ROG Hero XIII | 10900k @5.2 GHz | g.skill 2x32GB 4200 CL18 | ROG Strix 2070S | EK Nucleus 360 Dark | 6TB SSD/nvme, 16TB external HDD | 2x 1440p | Vanatoo speakers with Klipsch sub | Fractal Meshify 2 case

No I do not plan on of my PC
I just like Asus
I have had other brand motherboards but I like Asus
I do have a coolmaster water cooler but this PC is going to be my last one I will build!
So it will be this year parts and not something two or three years out of date
I could go gigabyte for a motherboad but like Ford or Chevy or Dodge
I just think Asus will last longer then others so I do not want a cheap board like I usually get
Just one that that will last maybe two days before it is out of date!

I would get a MXIIFormula and some 3600Mhz RAM with fast timings...like C14 stuff...
