Sticking with the 4460 would be a better option since ''k'' CPU's are better to use with Z87 & Z97 chipsets.

4690k and 4460 are both compatible with this chipset.
 
...even if it has a 1150 LGA socket? and the cpu was compatible with that socket it wouldnt work?

That is correct.

Dell codes the BIOS which determines the CPU support.

It might work -- it might not. That's why you need to ask Dell.

I feel almost certain a 'K' is of no use to you. It might be supported, but it is highly unlikely you would be able to OC it.
