You need to stay within the CPU’s series. As the firmware within your iMac is designed for it. That would be a 4.0GHz Core i7.
Review this iMac17.1 Series
Use the compare feature to see what your system is now and what the i7 can offer. Consider the cost and risk!
You may want to instead focus on the systems RAM and improve the systems storage getting a faster SSD if you have a HDD and if you need still more look at expanding your drives with a PCIe/NVMe blade drive.
