I can check that tonight after work. Anyway, i found out that my socket type is 1155 and this cpu is 1150 so it won't working with my build..i must look for 1155 socket type processors. Tnx for reply btw!

I found the motherboard is reported as from a HP Compaq Elite 8300 PC.  The specs for that PC indicate it can only use Intel 2nd & 3rd Generation Core i3, i5, i7 Processors.  The i7-4770K is a fourth generation CPU.

Sorry @Paul_Tikkanen   my research took longer than I thought.  You and @Vujke66  had already responded.

Hi, @TheOldMan 

Yes, that appears to be the case, but what threw me off was this discussion...The 8300 Elite model series did not come with Intel i7-2700 core processors...the 8200 Elte model series came with those.

@Vujke66  If you have an 8300 Elite, the best processor you can install would be the i7-3770K.

If you have the 8300 Elite MT or CMT the same info would apply.

I thought, in previous threads, you had mentioned having the 8300 Elite

Yes, I saw that I did as well.
