Hi:
Below is the link to the HP quickspecs for your PC.
Microsoft Word - HP_EliteDesk_800_G1_Business_PC_Series_QuickSpecs_12.03.13.docx
The list of supported processors can be found starting on page 6.
I don't see that the i7-4790k processor is supported in the 800 G1 MT.
The person in this discussion installed an i7-4790K in the 600 G1 despite it not being listed as supported, and it worked fine, so if that is the case, it should also work in the 800 G1.
