Can an I7 4790 run on LGA 1155 socket?

[Ejraam]

Hello,
i want to upgrade to a powerfull cpu that can handel intense gaming...and the one i want to buy is i7 4790 or the K version...my question is, will the i7 4790 processor run on LGA 1155 socket?(i know that i7 4790 uses LGA 2011, i am just asking about the possibility)

and if not...what is the proccessor that is close to the i7 4790 in performance and can run on an LGA 1155 socket..

and if not... what is the cheapest motherboard that i can buy that has a LGA 2011 socket?

No. The i7 4790 uses socket 1150.
The i7 3770k would be the equivalent for the socket 1155.

thank you...
but the i7 3770k is very expensive compared to the i7 4790.... will the non K version of i7 3770k have a big difference?

Depends on your plans for it. The unlocked multiplier allows you to get quite a bit more performance from the CPU if you're going to be overclocking.
If you don't plan to OCi leaving the K out makes no difference.
