It can but for you to get a 7th Gen (Kabylake) i7 you will want to download the newest BIOS.

If you have an updated bios you can get up to a 7700k. If you don't you can get up to a 6700k

A sample build you can go in and edit.

It's still going to work out the same way, just update BIOS and it will accept the 6/7 Gen i7's.
