The 4790K will work perfectly with that board, but you will be wasting your money as you can't overclock K chips on H97 boards.

Should work just fine. 
Question. If you're not overclocking, and you're going h97, why get a K SKU?

Yeah...  Intel kinda messed that one up, I mean really... Most people who buy a K processor are going to be overclocking it so they don't care what the stock speeds are. It would have made more sense for the non K parts to have higher clock speeds.
