Wouldn't worry about it. 3770K is on it's CPU support list assuming you have the bios updated it will accept it. It's not like you're sticking a 220W FX-9590 on a $100 motherboard. Dell makes boards with lower quality parts and they work fine with i7's. The only thing you can't do is overclock.

A better motherboard?? Normally every motherboard works the same (as long as they work properly in the first place) as long as it has the PCI E slot the 1070 needs, supports the I7 3770k, and supports 2x8GB ram sticks.

Also btw, the 3770k isn't much faster than the i5 4440 (somewhat near 10-50% faster)
