I am looking to get the Devils Canyon I7 - 4790K CPU to replace my current one. I have seen a few things online about compatibility issues of these processors with z87 boards. I currently have an MSI z87 G55 board. Is my board compatible with this CPU?

Additionally am I missing out not having a Z97 board, does it make that much difference??

Thanks in advance!
