it already has Core i3-4150 and it is a REFRESHED one . so the i7-4790 will work.

The motherboard should support it, but it in no way is capable of doing a stable overclock.

I would either get the non K version of an i7 or since you cant overclock I would just save some $$ and get a Xeon E3 1231. That will save you almost $100 with only slightly lower clock speed. Only other main difference between the Xeon and the i7 is that the Xeon does not have an integrated gpu in it but since you have your own dedicated gpu that is not really an issue.
