This benchmarking site shows configurations in the 870-2xx model series that have i7-7700K's installed.

 

UserBenchmark: HP OMEN by HP Desktop PC 870-2XX Compatible Components

 

The parts list shows that the heat sink is rated for up to a 95W processor and the i7-7700K has up to a 91W power draw.

Heatsink - 95W, Kidd

 

So, you should be able to upgrade to that processor without any additional modifications.
