Noticed that recently Intel Xeon W3690 has come down in price,
you can get a used one for 198Eur.

Is this CPU compatible with Mac Pro 4.1 :
Intel Xeon W3690 3.46Ghz 12MB LGA1366 Hex Core Westmere B1 OEM Processor
?

Yes the w3690 3.46ghz Xeon will work with your 4,1 Mac Pro. With the prices coming down, it's the best time to upgrade.
