Below is the link to the product specs for your PC, which has the list of supported processors:

 

HP 280 G3, 290 G1 Microtower Business PC Specifications | HP® Support

 

Looks like the best processor you can upgrade to would be the i7-7700.

 

This user benchmarking site has reports of over 400 290 G1 builds, and I don't see that anyone has installed a better processor than the i7-7700.

What's the full model number or product number of your PC?

 

To find the product number you can run the Windows system information app and the product number will be listed on the System SKU line.
