This mobo also support i7 4790k and I wanted to upgrade my processor.
I just wanted to know that can my mobo overclock this cpu or i should get non k processor.

It cannot OC.
H and B chipset motherboards for Intel do not support multiplier-based overclocking.
For this you would need a Z-chip motherboard.

Ok.
Is i7 4790 good enough for upcoming games or should i get a new mobo and get better cpu?

In my opinion, it is better to upgrade gpu than cpu. Most games do not make use of multi-core platforms. Except ofcourse some of them. But if budget permits, i would suggest getting a new mobo and cpu + (ram since you are coming from haswell). a 7600k will be enough if you want to overclock.

4790 is tier 1 CPU in this chart: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html

You are still very much good to go, sir!
