Nope, it's a completely different chipset and motherboard socket. I have an X79 based system myself, which uses quad-channel memory and a Socket 2011 CPU. The 7700K requires either the 100 series(with UEFI update) or 200 series Intel chipset boards to function. These are socket 1151 based CPUs. Also, you would need DDR4 RAM.
